Link Outlook data to Access
I understand how to do merges. What i need are the additional functions
offered in Access. However, data does not transfer from Outlook to Access,
so back to my original question, why does data that resides in the Job Title
field of Outlook not transfer over into Access. When you link a table then
view the data in Access most of it is there, except for the Title field which
is empty? Makes no sense that all other data would transfer. Is there a way
to rename the Outlook field of Job Title to Title, then Access would read it?
Thanks, again...

Shellie, you can do pretty quick and dirty mail merges directly from
Outlook, or from Word for letters, labels and envelopes, linking to your
Outlook contacts. It sounds like you are making things a little more
difficult than required.
From Outlook Contacts, do ToolsMail Merge... from Word, do
ToolsLetters & MailingsMail Merge ....

Why don't all the fields link from Outlook to Access? For example, the
Title
field in Access is empty and does not link to the Job Title field in
Outlook?
My goal, use the convenience of Access for mail merges/mailings, etc. from
existing contact data in Outlook by linking the tables. The problem is
that
not all data carry over into Access - like the Job Title?
Thanks!
