Retrieving external contacts in Outlook2003/2007
Hi,
I have an external application holding information about all my contacts (100.000) and i would like to access these contacts, what is the best way to do this? I can reach this application through a webservice. The best help I have seen so far (on external contacts) is importing them into public folders, but with the amount of contacts this is not very useful to me. Any help/hint in what direction to go is much appreciated! Bjorn |

I would suggest that you use a third-party tool either to synchronize the data with an Exchange public folder or to add to the webservice to make it look to Outlook like a SharePoint list. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/database.htm. Regarding the SharePoint-spoof approach, there are a couple of good articles from Microsoft bloggers, but I just can't lay my hands on them this mroning.
