Default Mapping custom fields to an access database

There are no simple instructions for this. While articles have been written on how to expand the linked table method of showing Outlook data in Access to include additional fields, 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.
