Is there an application out there that will pull info from
fields in an open Access database that I'm using into
Outlook as an appointment?

I've looked into this here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?
url=/library/en-us/dno2k3ta/html/odc_ac_olauto.asp?_r=1
but I get the feeling that it won't work on every database
that I work in, just the one I would design this ability
into.

Thanks!

Hi Stephen,

In general, anything you can do by automating Outlook from Access can be
done from the other end, by automating Access from Outlook. Either way,
however, the code will need to be customised for, or be smart enough to
take account of, the structure of the database(s) involved.

This article may help. Even though it's for Outlook 2000 it will apply
with little or no change to 2003.
