How do change the predefined field names in Outlook. Like User Field 1, User
Field 2, etc, to field names that everyone in my department will understand, like "Employee #". If there is no way of changing some of the predefined fields how can I include my user defined fields when I link Outlook to Access? Presently when I link Outlook to my database my user defined fileds are not included as well as some other predefined fields, such as e-mail 2, that I would like to include. I'm trying to use Outlook contacts to store my personnel information and then link it to Access for my tables and queries that I need. |

While articles have been written on how to expand the fields exposed in a linked table, I've never been able to duplicate the results. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/database.htm#linkedtables .
That page will also give you other ideas on how to work with databases and Outlook together. You'll need to write code or use a third-party tool that does the heavy lifting. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Dan" wrote in message ...
