Hi,
Ok this is a weird one. I have used the automated link table in Access to connect to the contacts folder in Outlook. Both of these being 2007v
Originally this seemed to all work fine and i could see all the data. Now however i am having a problem where i can see all of the data apart from the email addresses. These are input in outlook and they are the correct field names - in fact they have shown up but when i though i had cracked it and saved and closed the db, when i reopened they had disappeared again.
I can work out whether this is a bug or a security setting. Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
I have a question.
Can MS Access table link to Outlook?
Suppose there are Tom and Sue persons:
Sue manage the acc.mdb database file, The database has one table which is called "input", Sue made the form, the form is come from "input" table info. and also Sue made one button to send the specific record to the Tom via outlook, once Sue send out, the mail has created a link, which link can open the document (NOT attached file). Once Tom receive the mail from Sue, Tom will click the link to open the document, and also fill out one signature inside the document, after filled it out, then the signature will automatically populate in the specific field of the "input" table in the acc.mdb database file.
Can MS Access and Outlook do above situation?
Please let me know, thanks a lot.

I created this database long time ago, but now my boss wants to import the contacts list from outlook into the database. Now, these lists will differ per user. Right now there are 6 users, who are using the database and they all will have different contacts lists. How can I import it in a manner, when they login the outlook will will search for their contacts only and let them make changes.
I want to create a form and this form will already be filled with the contact info from the outlook, and half of the form is for the user's comments so they can circulate the information through a report to different people.
I hope I was able to send my msg across. I am pretty bad at explaining stuff.
Thank you in adv.

I know how to create new table in Access by linking to Outlook contacts. The problem is, the default NOTES field in the Outlook contact does not show up in the linked Access table. Every Outlook Contact field shows up with the exception of that one field.

Two questions:
1.I have disabled all menus and assigned a custom form to load when the database is launched.
The form launches with the Main Access window in the background.
Is it possible to have this main window invisible; either minimised or absent?
2.I have created a linked outlook contacts table in my database. I have a feature in one of my forms which searches for contacts based on certain selections.
When a contact is found, it needs to be displayed. I will like to use the existing Outlook contact detail forms to pop up. I can make a custom form to display this info, but it seems a waste of time to code what outlook already has.
Can someone give any ideas? or, direct me to some reference material?
thanks!

Is there a way in Access to create a database that stores (a list of) Ms Outlook emails? And then, is there a way I could drag and drop an email from Outlook into the access database?
Thanks...

Hello All,
At work we have a large and messy Contacts list so I decided to set one up using a database.
At present I have 3 tables:-
Companies (custID,companyname,address,etc)
People (nameID,firstname,middlename,lastname,custID)
Phones (phoneID,phonetype,areacode,number,?????)
My problem is this, Some of the phone nos belong to the individuals
and some belong to the company. If a person is replaced at a company I need to reasign the company phone nos to the new person whilst retaining the individuals and their personal phone nos. If a company is deleted I need to delete only the company phone nos. and if a person moves within the company I want the company nos to reasign to the new replacement but keep the personal nos of the individual. Now I see its going to be more complex than I thought.
Can anyone help me with the table layout and links. (nb this is only a simple database relating a person to a company without using departments etc.)
Its main use is to provide phone nos names and addresses quickly.
Many Thanks
Peter

Ok, I have 3 tables. One lists a contact in conjunction with the branch of the company and the trips that contact takes. The second lists a contact in conjunction with the branch of the company and which team they work with (may work with many). The third should list their email address and their phone number. Is it possible to pull the contact name and branch of company from tables 1 and 2 into 3 automatically, such that all I have to input into table 3 is additional contact information? If that is possible, is it also possible to only pull each contact/branch of company pairing once (I don't want four entries for Joe Shmoe/Sales, even if he's taken 4 trips)?

I need setting up a history table for contacts and the companies that they are associated with. I am sure this will be obvious to some of you database veterans but I am fairly new to Access and I can't seem to figure out the best way to accomplish what I am trying to do.
Here is what I need to do:
When a contact's employment status changes, I need to change the contact's current company association but somehow maintain his or her association with the previous company so that s/he can still be associated with past projects.
So, in my contacts table (TBLContacts), I have a foreign key field "CompanyFK" that links to my companies table (TBLCompaniesPK). There is a one to many relationship between TBLCompanies and TBLContacts.
I want the CompanyFK field to be the current company but somehow link the person with past companies too so that the project directories and subforms will continue to show the contact's association with the parent company.
Maybe I don't need a history table but something else?
I have a similar problem with companies that change name, too. How to deal with takeovers, name changes, mergers, etc.

I have a contacts database and I am trying to set the relationship between the contacts table and the locality table. The contacts table has a LocalityID field that is a long integer and the Locality table has an autonumber as the PK. When I drag the LocalityID on one table to the other LocalityID I get the Can't create this relationship. When I look at the Edit Relationship dialog box the primary table is the Locality table not the Contacts table. I want set up a lookup on the contacts form that relates to locality.

Hello,
I made an address database in access, with the intention to export it to Outlook contacts. But in Access I made a separate column with "street" and another one with the "number" of the house/apartment. If I try to import the addresses in Outlook, I can only drag one column to the "street" field in Outlook (where street and number are considered to be in that field together). Is there a fast solution for this?
I'm thinking of combining the street and nr columns in Access (if that's possible) into a new column, so I can delete the separate columns..
If you know how to do this or to fix this issue any other way, please let me know.
Thanks

Today is one of those days where I can't seem to wrap my head around anything, so here goes.
I have a database where the contact information is linked to an agency name via a third table which has the contact ID# and agency ID#, and nothing else.
In a fourth table there is a list of programs with three contacts associated with each program, for simplicity sake let's just say contact1, contact2 and contact3.
I am trying to create a select query which will link (via relationships) the programs, which are associated with an agency, to the contacts table via the agency/contact join table. I am getting a complete listing of the programs and their contacts, however it is coming out like:
Program Name Contact1 Contact1 Contact1
Program Name Contact2 Contact2 Contact2
etc.
I have the query set up as follows:
Program name, Contact1, Contact2, Contact3
If you need more information let me know.

The attached Access XP file demonstrates my problem. I've included a form to make testing easier.
Each record in the Projects table has one or more linked entries in the Keywordlink table, showing keywords that apply to that record. Each record in Projects has a Yes/No 'Utility' field.
A third table, Keywords, supplies the keywords that the user can apply to records in Projects, using the subform on the main form. The Keywords table also includes a True/False 'Utility' field. I have set this to True for for the first three keywords.
I need a query, a series of queries or some VB code that updates Projects_Utility for all records to True if and only if the record's linked entries in Keywordlink include all of the keywords for which Keywords_Utility is True (a boolean 'and', as opposed to an 'or'). Otherwise, Projects_Utility must be set to False.
In the attached file, with the current settings in the Keyword table, the 'GetSelectedProjects' query should then produce single-row listings for ClientA and ClientF.
I'd appreciate any help you can give me on this. I'm not a programmer, but I can manage a bit of VB code if I have to.

I have a table "Product" and in this table I have two fields "StoragePlaceID1" and "StoragePlaceID2". Both these fields link to the look-up table "StoragePlace"
*Attached Image "Product_StoragePlace" from the Access Relationship Window"*
When I want to add a new Product from my inter face i get the error you can see in the Attached Image "Save_Error".I think the problem is that the Relationship is defined as One-to-Many,there a way to define the relationship as Zero-to-Many.

Currently, I'm taking my unread emails, storing them in a table then sending any Excel files to a specified folder I've modified some code I found while surfing and it works great but I'd really like to send the attachment name and file path with the email recordset. It's been a long day so maybe it's super simple. Below is my code. Office 2010 Windows 8.1
PHP Code:
Function ReadInbox()
Dim TempRst As DAO.Recordset
Dim OlApp As Outlook.Application
Dim Inbox As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim Atmt As Outlook.Attachment
Dim InboxItems As Outlook.Items
[Code] ....

I created a call logging/work tracking type Database using SharePoint 2007 lists for the backend and Access 2013 front end for about 60 users and it has been running smoothly for around two years .
We use a shared outlook calendar and I want to be able to pull meetings & appointment information into the database from the calendar so I can assign the meetings out to specific people and keep of a record that they where given the request to attend. I was able to use the import outlook folder to create a linked table and it has lots of great information from the calendar apart from the two most important things you need in a calendar Start_time & End_Time . Is there something I'm missing in regards to these two fields? I assume I'm doing something wrong but I can't figure out what, nor did I have much luck with the Search function on here or google.
This is the list of field names it does import(everything apart from the meeting time and is it a recurring appointment)

I have an Access 2007 SQL database with 20 users. The DB has a list of about 3,000 email addresses that I want to export to Outlook for mass mailing. I've already got the services of an SMTP mail service that allows 1000 mails at a pop to be sent, and I've already written in the logic to separate the list into groups of 1k.
The problem I'm having is that I'm currently exporting from Access 2007 to Excel 2003 format (for some unknown reason Outlook 2007 does not directly interface with Access 2007), and then I have to manually go through the import steps within Outlook to bring the data from each 1k name group spreadsheet into a contact group for mailing.
It all works fine as it is, but it's clunky as hell. I want to automate that process, but I'm not very familiar with Outlook. I'm not even sure what the file format is for a group. Surely it must have its own format, like group1.xxx, or something. My ultimate objective is to export straight from access to the .xxx (whatever it is) format, direct it straight to the appropriate folder within Outlook and in the process eliminate the need for the more tedious steps required to import each Excel file within Outlook that I'm currently using.

Hi, I’m new to access and I have read through a couple of books but still struggling.
If I make a tables with my info in it say customer details, use quires to sort display and print that info. Now is that query saved and do I end up with lots of query’s (hundreds.) Or
I’m assuming that that query is then lost (don’t know the correct term) and the only way of getting this info back is make a query asking for the same info criteria.
I’m thinking of an invoice made up of info from a contact table
My invoices are very simple I only supply labor and materials and don’t have set prices for ether, so I need to insert prices that I input and text that I input Both will be manually inputted although some sort of auto text that can be edited to make each invice individual would be nice
Hope this makes some sort of sense, can any one point me to some key areas that I can read up on
thanks

Question is there anything I can do or is it the fact that these are options were not installed and it is an administrators job?
