How to link Access with MS Outlook? Or synchronize them? 1

[dataplayer]

Is there a way to link Access to Outlook through ODBC or whatever, so that every time when there is a new record entered or modified, the content in the Access database is automatically synchronized?

I downloaded a component for linking Access to Outlook because I have Access 97. But if you have a newer version you should be able to:

Click on File --> Get External Data --> Link Tables.
In the Link-screen, select 'Exchange()' or 'Outlook()'.
You will see all the public folders on your Outlook Exchange server.


Hope this helps.

In linking to a task folder, is there a way to get all of the fields from a specified task folder? (at least instead of the 4 or 5 fields that are inserted into the Access table)

Good question! I have the same problem with Contact info, such as the Category field not appearing. I have not figured out how to solve that problem yet. Hopefully, someone can answer.
