how to transfer addresses from access to contact list in outlook
I have entered names, addresses, etc into an access database. I'd like to
transfer all of this information in to Outlook contacts. Only the names transferred, not the addresses. How can I do this?

how to transfer addresses from access to contact list in outlook
Did you use the FIle | Import and Export command in Outlook and click the Custom Field Mapping button to make sure Outlook knows how to store your data?

Click it and you'll see a dialog that lets you associate a column in your named range (for best results, include the column header row in the range) with an Outlook property.

I have no idea what you mean by column header row
in the range Sorry, for some reason I read Excel instead of Access. The same principle applies, though. Your database has fields defined for each table. Those field names will be available in the Map Custom Fields dialog. I get a dialog box titled "import a file" with boxes to check the following, Import calls/import contac types/import contacts/import switchboard items into the contact folder You must choose which table you want to import. You know your database structure. We don't. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Ghiadoc" wrote in message ...
