Link access to contacts in outlook

121 100+
Hi,

I am using access 2007 and i am trying to link to a contacts folder in outlook I have done this by going to external data/import/more then outlook folder this all works fine but if i link the table instead of importing the table the linked table does not create a unique ID is there anyway of genereting a unique ID? The same also is true when i link to a calendar

Regards Phill

Is the linked table updatable (can you add a field)?

The logic of determining a value is straightforward enough, but if there's nowhere to store it, or you will be unable to create an index even if it can be stored, then I don't see any point in progressing.

Hi Neopa

Thanks for the reply

No the table is not updatable it says that you have to change the values in the source database...

is there any way of telling outlook what fields it shouold be exporting and do you know if the contact in outlook has a unique ID?

I'm afraid I have very little idea Phill. I never play in Outlook.

I can only suggest you explore using the Object Browser (F2 from within the VBA window). It looks like a ContactItem is your first port of interest.

Good luck.
