By the way, I should add (in case it makes a difference?) that I'm doing all
this with Access/Outlook 2002.

Store the contact's entry id (ContactItem.EntryID, call Save ) and reopen it

You might also want to store the parent store id
(ContactItem.Parent.StoreID, used as the second optional parameter in
GetItemfromID) if the contact comes from a non-default store.

I've figured out how to create Outlook contact records from a command
button
in Access, but now I'd like to figure out how use an Access command button
to
open Outlook to a specific contact record. Here's the logic I want to use
for my command button:

IF OutlookContactRecord exists THEN
Open OutlookContactRecord
ELSE
Create new OutlookContactRecord
END IF

I know whether (or not) a contact record exists because I set a flag in
Access when I create the record. Now, all I need to figure out is how to
call up the existing record.

Any help provided wll be greatly appreciated!
