getting data from Access Database in Outlook Form
 

Has anyone every accessed a MS Access Database using a combobox in an outlook
form? I am looking to have a combobox display a list of records that are in a
access databse on another server. A standard ADO recordset in the object does
not seem to work.

You have to write code to read the data from the Recordset. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/formcontrols.htm#listcombo

FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for Outlook forms issues "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms or, via web interface, at http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...rogram_f orms
