I'm sorry, I can't find relevant information - Google turns up this thread... :crazy:

Do you have the 2010 versions of both Access and Outlook or are they different?
Best wishes,
Hans

I understand that, but I have no idea what causes it. I have tested it both with stand-alone Outlook at home and with Outlook connected to Exchange at work, and I could link to contacts without problems.
