Outlook - synchronize contatcs by visual basic aplicaton
The simplest solution would be to look at the modified dates of a contact in
Access and Outlook (not even close to being 100% fool proof) and decide which contact is the newest based on these dates.

Outlook - synchronize contatcs by visual basic aplicaton
Hi Dimitry
Many thanks for your reply. One of the main problem for me is the saving of the new contact. I loosing informations like picture, exchange ..... I do not have any informations in the view in access. There are only: FirstName, name, adress .... How could I save only this updatet informations to the existing contact? The EntryID is read only.

You should not be deleting an existing contact and re-creating a new one.
For an existing contact, you only need to update the fields that you are aware of; there is no reason to modify any other fields.

I am not sure I understand why this is a problem.
Do you *always* create a new contact? Are you saying you cannot search for/open an existing contact?
