Losing some fields when Linking table

Guest

I'm linking table to "contacts" folder in Outlook. Contacts folder has 140
fields. When I create the table in access by linking to contacts, only 44
fields appear in the table. Where did they go in the Linking Process ? The
"Categories" field is one that didn't get linked. It's one that I need to run
a query. Please help. Thanks.

Hi Bob,

I'm afraid that that's just the way it is. No idea why Microsoft has chosen
to only expose 44 of the fields when linking. Your only other option is to
export your contact information to an external file, and then link or import
that information. This data will only be a snapshot in time, but at least you
should be able to get the additional fields that you are missing.
