Want database to appear as Outlook Address Book
We have an existing database which we maintain daily. It contains email
addresses. Is there a simple way for Outlook to use it as an address book? I don't like import/export because then you either have two copies to maintain or you have a labor intensive, error prone job to be performed on a merciless schedule. thanks for your advice. |

Want database to appear as Outlook Address Book
Depends on what you mean by "use as an address book." Only Contacts Folders
can be enabled to appear in the Outlook address book view or as the repositories for addresses for messages sent from Outlook. But you can use other databases as a data source for a mail merge to email. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "wdsnews" wrote in message ... We have an existing database which we maintain daily.

Want database to appear as Outlook Address Book
Hi Sue,
Thank you for your link. When I looked, I saw tools for using an Outlook Contact List as a database table, but I didn't see a tool for using a database table as an Outlook Contact List. Did I overlook something? "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ...

You must have missed SQLView, among others.

Want database to appear as Outlook Address Book
Yes. I overlooked the products in the right column. But as I scan them,
they all say copy, synchronize, extract, replicate, or update, except for SQLView. I apologize for overlooking it. Are you aware of multi-user solution that I can use with Access? I appreciate the effort you've made to help me. Thank you. "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ...

Everything I know on the subject is present on that page. Any product that synchronizes would probably also be suitable for your application.
