I have tried unsuccessfully to send text message from MS Access to Outlook
Express (MS Access has a SendObject command to send data. It works but will
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.

Outlook EXPRESS is NOT the same as Outlook.
This newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003/2007 from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlooke xpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...ress.ge neral
Good luck!

I should have told you (if it matters) that I have Outlook 2000.

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

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.
