Outlook 2003 - update contact with last activity date

[Aurora]

I journal my contacts, so can see all email exchanges from the
Activity tab. However, I just want to retrieve the date of the last
activity and either append it to the Notes section, or use it to
populate a custom field. Can this be done in Outlook directly? (I can
export the contacts/emails to Access and run queries there, but wanted
to know if there is a local solution)

Thanks!

you can always look for the date (after using Activates tab) and type it in
the field or it should be doable using VBA if you want to automate it.

Yes, so how do I refer to last activity date in the object model?

You need to get the CDO mod date property (&H30080040) - you can use
Redemption and RDOSession instead of CDO. See outlookcode.com or the Outlook
VBA programming newsgroup (microsoft.public.outlook.program_VBA) on this
server.
