Default Importing data from MS Access to Outlook

If the data to be exported is Contact related(name, email) have you
considered exporting from Access to Excel, then saving the file as a *.csv
file for import into Outlook's contacts. ?

Note: You might first export an Outlook Contact list to a csv file and load
in Excel(Use File/Open instead of double click) to familiarize with headers
in an Outlook Csv file.

Gordon, sorry for the confusion. I want to know if I can import from Access
into Outlook (not Outlook Express). Thanks for responding.

I have tried unsuccessfully to send text message from MS Access to Outlook

only send 255 or 256 characters, the rest is truncated). I'm wondering if
the opposite will work. Can I set up a form text message in Outlook and
import certain data from my MS Access database (someone's name, email,
etc)
or am I way off base?
Thanks in advance for any help.
