I am following the instructions in OL2000: How to Use Your Outlook Items with Other Office Programs (Microsoft Knowledge Base article - 196873 ) on opening an outlook item in Access. When I get to "4. In the "Files of type" list at the bottom of the Import or Link dialog box, click Outlook" I do not get a wizard just put back to the database window. Any idea why this might be? Something wrong in my Access set presumably.
 
I presume you have Outlook installed and that you have a profile already
created? If not, you need to create a profile first with user accounts etc.

Yes Outlook is installed and profile set up. I have previously written code in Access that sends contacts created in Access directly into the Outlook Contacts folder so there is some sort of connectivity between them.
