MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / May 2006import access odbc linked table to outlook
Instead of importing an access table to the contacts, I'd like to import an Access table that is an ODBC link. Is this possible? If it's an Access table, it should be importable into contacts. What happens if you try it?

Is this possible? In outlook's import wizard linked tables don't appear on the list of available access tables, only imported tables. I will not be updating the table using Access so importing it is not an option. > If it's an Access table, it should be importable into contacts.

Is this possible? I tried some other linked tables and got the same result. I guess we can conclude that you'll have to write code or use a third-party tool to perform the import, rather than rely on Outlook's wizard.
