Default Create a new field in Outlook?

hello Ken,

I used to do alot of VBA.... 4 years ago. Unfortunately, its sort of
forgotten!

I simply need to map and import a new field from my Access tables. I was
hoping for a one or two line snippet sample of code in VBA coded in a macro.
From the little that I remember about VBA, I am sure it isn't that
complicated.

In one post a felow said to use:

MailItem.UserProperties

But how, what procedures.... do I create a macro in outlook and so forth ?

The only reason I wanted to do this is so I can bring in a feild from Access
to Outlook and then allow synchronization with a Blackberry.

If anyone can gracefully post a simple sample that allows Outlook to import
a new field, I would really appreciate it.

Outlook code is completely different than usual Win32 programming, you have
to know the Outlook object model and in this case the Access object model. I
don't do C++ so I couldn't help with that.

You can look at the information and tons of samples at www.outlookcode.com
for Access importing samples, but I'd guess they are all or almost all in
VBA/VB/C#/VB.NET code.

I am familiar with C/C++/Win32 programming. Is it very difficult to write
my
own code to import a new field in Outlook from access ?
