Hi there,
I have created a custom access database of contacts. I would like to connect Outlook to the database, so that every time a user receives an e-mail, an action is triggered that searches the access database to see if that contact exists (based on the e-mail address I guess). If the contact doesn't exist, it offers to automatically add the contact to the database using information from the e-mail, and then add the contents of the e-mail as an information note to that contact. If the contact does exist, it automatically adds the content of the e-mail as an information note to the existing contact.
Can anyone guide me on how I could set such a system up? I am used to developing in MS Access with VBA, but I'm not used to developing in Outlook with VBA, so I'm not sure where to begin.
Any help would be much appreciated.
