SUMMARYThis article provides an overview and sample code for creating Microsoft Outlook 98 Contacts from information stored in a Microsoft Access 97 database. The sample code in the "More Information" section of this article should be run from a Microsoft Access 97 global module and provides a starting point for the development of a complete solution. MORE INFORMATIONMicrosoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language being demonstrated and the tools used to create and debug procedures. Microsoft Support professionals can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific needs. If you have limited programming experience, you may want to contact the Microsoft fee-based consulting line at (800) 936-5200. For more information about the support options available from Microsoft, please see the following page on the World Wide Web: http://www.microsoft.com/support/supportnet/overview/overview.aspThe Import and Export feature in Outlook 98 does not allow you to import or export information in user-defined fields (or properties). To import information into these fields, you may need to create a programming solution that uses Automation to convert the information. The following sample code specifically converts information from Microsoft Access into newly-created Outlook Contacts, using Data Access Objects (DAO) version 3.5. With modifications, you can use this code as a basis for creating other types of Outlook items, such as appointments, notes, tasks, and so on. There is also an overview and separate code example available on the Microsoft Web site at the following location. It is the first example in the whitepaper. http://www.microsoft.com/officedev/articles/sampauto.htm Programming Considerations
