MS Access Forum / Forms Programming / July 2005Accessing Outlook from Access
When you create a new email message, there is an 'options' menu item, when you open this you get a screen with a button & field called 'Contacts'. My question is, how do I insert & retreive information in this field from Access. If you're trying to access Outlook from Access, see http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/email.htm for useful links. Your description below doesn't seem to fit the version of Outlook on my computer, but if you're trying to use an Access database as an Outlook contacts list I suggest you start at www.outlookcode.com, and if you have no success there ask in an Outlook newsgroup. If your email software is something other than Outlook (e.g. Outlook Express), ask in a forum that specialises in it. >When you create a new email message, there is an 'options' menu item, when >you open this you get a screen with a button & field called 'Contacts'. >My question is, how do I insert & retreive information in this field from >Access. -- John Nurick [Microsoft Access MVP] Please respond in the newgroup and not by email.
