Outlook eail to Access

[Guest]

I have followed the instructions to link an outlook contacts file to an
Access database table. This worked mostly, but the email field from Outlook
does not come in the Access table. How do I get the link to include this or
other missing Outlook fields? Thanks.

There is a tweak that is supposed to add more fields to the link, but it never
worked for me. When I need to interact with contacts folders I do so with
automation code rather than trying to use table links. Then you can get at
everything, even user defined fields.
