I use access linked tables to get contact information from outlook. i
use the "fileas" field as the key for joining against other databases
(quickbooks for example)

everything worked great in outlook xp.

i just upgraded to outlook 2k3 and encountered a problem. the fileas
field is no longer one of the fields that access pulls in when you do
a linked table to your contacts. as such, i cannot run the joins
anymore.

does anyone know if there is a way to customize outlook to specify
which fields will be published to the access linked table manager?

thank you.
