Access/Outlook question

[Guest_imported]

I am an office manager in Los Angeles, CA, and I need help with a specific question:
In Access (we have'97), how specifically does it share contacts with Outlook? We have a email program here (Poco) that needs to have a seperate adress book, and we want to switch to MS Outlook to be able to share between Outlook and Access. So you can use an email address in Access, and it then goes straight into outlook. How much "sharing" can the two do? We have a customized version of Access here with our own fields we want brought over to Outlook such as:
Name, Address, Phone, Pager, Email, Fax, Age, Sex, Notes, and then custom check boxes such as "on mailing list", "Active", etc. Is there someway to define this in Outlook so it mirrors access? Please respond ASAP.

Thanks,
Eric Bennett

I believe you can only share by importing and exporting the contact list. The sharability is overrated. However, you code write a module to email everyone in your access list with VBscript.
