Ok, we've got this complicated form with 10000s of lines of vba code, doing all sorts of calculation,
The forms are on several pcs, and the tables are on the server, (using the external link)
Now we need to install those forms on many other pcs and are looking into buying liscencing,
Along the road, someone suggested to have the forms in Outlook instead of Access, (Since every one has Outlook)
My question is: Can a Form be imported and used and run from Outlook using external link to the tables on the server?
(i know simple forms can be created in outlook, but they dont have the complexity of access, so again, the question is: can a form created in access be imported in outlook)
Thanks,

As far as I know, you cannot, nor would you want to try, use Outlook in the manner you describe. The only reason I can possibly think of for that suggestion is budget crunching, as certain versions of MS Office do not have Access, while Outlook is ubiquitous.
You mention the forms are built with vb, is that vba as in the visual basic for applications that Access uses, or the visual basic that is a stand alone programming language (the two are not the same animal!)

Hi -
There is a file of students in Outlook (located in Contacts).
These students are also used in my MS Access 2002 program.
But we have to type everything (all the student information) in again into
Access. Is there any way to access the student information from the
Contacts in Outlook, so we don't have to type the same information in twice?
Thanks!

I have about 20,000 emails of which about 1% of them have
attached word, excel, jpeg, pdf, powerpoint files.
The emails are located in about 1000 folders. The hierachy
of folders is maximum of 5 deep starting at the INBOX.
So.... the problem is that Outlook is running too slow now
and I have to figure out how I can organize these messages

Hi all,
I need to get at specific (shared) agenda-data from MS outlook 2003.
I need every day to get the scheduled 'appointments' for some rooms to Access.
In Access I will show the time-periods that the rooms are booked for that day.
I know how to code all this in Access.
I can show some testdata for 5 rooms quite nicely on a form.
I never ever needed to use Outlook-to-Access before, so I need a good starting point to get the data.

Hi
Before updating to Access 2007 we could open outlook contact entries by using a hyperllink along the lines of <outlook://contacts etc>
This does not seem to work in 2007 any more.
We have a linked table in the database which is drawing data from the outlook contact file and have related this to the relevant access tabel so we can see all the data from both tables in the access form but I am at a loss as to how to actually open the...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
