automatically selecting activities page of contact

I have an access database that links pretty good with outlook, make a
contact/view a contact/add a link/make a task or calendar/send email
etc. I just stumbled upon the activities page of the contact form and
felt that that was the best way to do searches etc. for a particular
contact. So what I would like to do is from my access Dbase I'd like
to open the corresponding outlook contact but have the activies page
show automatically. Can't seem to find any properites for doing that
in the contact. Do I have to make a custom form?

Take a look at the Inspector.SetCurrentFormPage method.

Great. Thanks. would you happen to know how or if there is a way to
change the default search on the activities page from "all items" to
something else?

The default is set on the Properties dialog of the Contacts folder. It can't
be set programmatically.
