Default Wishing to use Outlook form that catches duplicate contact entry.

I am using Outlook 2000. I also use Access 2000. I have a button in Access
to transfer a contact to the appropriate fields in Outlook Contacts. Rather
than have code that checks for duplicates in Outlook I was hoping to use the
form that pops up when a user wishes to save a vcard and the contact is
already entered. It is something like. " A contact with that name is already
entered. Do you want to append the new info or add another contact with the
same name".

I'm not sure whether I can do this or not. I have just received Sue
Mosher's book but I have a long way to go.
Thanks
Carol

You would have to code your own duplicate checker and your own dialog. You
can't repurpose the internal Outlook dialog.
