Link Outlook to Access Database

Post by Leesha »

Hi,
I'm not sure if this should be here or in the Access forum. Sorry in advance if I put it in the wrong spot.

I'm wondering if there is a way to link Outlook to a table or query in an Access Database. I'd prefer to link it so that the updates to the Access Database are captured in Outlook.

Thanks,
Leesha

You can create a link in an Access database to a folder (such as Inbox) in Outlook. Changes in the Outlook folder will automatically be reflected in the linked table in the database.
But as far as I know, the other way round is not possible.
Best wishes,
Hans

Hi Hans,
That's too bad. I really was hoping for it the other way around. And if you tell me it can't be done I won't spend any more energy on it! :-)
Thanks,
