Linking Access With Outlook

Jan 23, 2006

Hi

I wonder if someone could give me some advice.

I can create simple databases with Access but I've recently identified the need to create something a little more complex. My entire relational database revolves around a central table of contacts.

I have a list of contacts in MS Outlook (searchable by name, phone number, etc.), which should be the same. I want to avoid the risk of data redundancy so I was wondering if it is possible to link Outlook and Access databases in some way, so that, for example, if I was to add a contact in Outlook, it would update my database automatically and vice versa.

I'm sure this is far from simple but I'd love to hear any suggestions you may have.

Many thanks in advance

Gavin

Linking Outlook And Access...but Adding Autonumbers

Feb 19, 2007

Hello Everyone

I have a question which hopefully someone can help me with.

I have a database that links into an Outlook email account. I get the information across via File => Get External Data => Link Tables.

However the issue I have is assigning some kind of autonumber to this table. I am not bothered what the number is, just so that I can differentiate between the records.

Is there an easy way of doing this?

Thanks in adavance

Access And Outlook/Exchange

Jun 6, 2007

I have searched the forums and did not see the question I am about to ask.

I have created a link table in Access to the exchange server at work. When I try to get someone to view the table I created they can not view it. When I look at the Link Table Manager it shows the link is pointing to my personal temp directory instead of the main folder in exchange. How do you link the table to a folder that all can see?

Thanks

Outlook Opens Access?

Sep 25, 2005

I have a pesudo forum running on a server which sends emails automatically to a group to indicate that there is a new posting - much like any forum...

I would like to include a link in the email (automatically) that will open the Access Forum and point directly to the relevant post...

I searched the forum but was surprised to find that this question hasn't been raised before... so I'm worried? :p

I know I will get a hundred links from the Mighty Moderators now saying I didn't look properly - as my old mother used to say :rolleyes:

Exporting Outlook To Access

Sep 24, 2004

I am trying to create an Access file to manage another individual's contact database and journal entries in Outlook. Is there a unique field in Contacts that ties the record to the Journal entries? I've figured that we may need to re-create the individual's company name to make it unique, but how would I get that new name linked to the journal entries (without doing a manual cut-and-paste)?

Without doing so and importing the two tables into Access, it appears impossible to link the tables to establish relationships.

Can anyone please help?

Thanks so much!!!!!

Outlook Email From MS Access

Aug 7, 2006

Hi
I have written a code that composes a new mail from MS Access. It does what i need. It also gives a question before displaying the mail body :
"A program is trying to access e-mail addresses yo have stored in outlook. Do yo want to allow this ?"

If I give yes, it proceeds with composition. If I give No, it gives an error "Application-defined or object defined error". Is there any way I can avoid this error.

Thanks

I can store e-mail addresses of my data-entriers in the database, how do i achieve to send the mail address and specific row to outlook when a user clicks it?

Access For Mass Mailing Causes Outlook ???

Feb 3, 2007

I have a database for clients and have set up a form and code to run a query for different types of clients and to send emails to the group.

Everything works fine until I try to send and then I get a Microsoft Outlook pop-up which states:

"A program is trying to automatically send e-mail on your behalf. Do you want to allow this? If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should choose "No."

This message stays for 5 seconds and then I can click on "YES" and it will send the email, and start all over for the next recipient.

I am assuming this is an Outlook Spam Blocker, but is there any way to stop it?

Thanks
