Hi all,

Bit of a newcomer to this but here goes..!

We can get Access 2003 to read the contacts list from
Outlook 2003 and display it in a table, but it only
displays certain fields (some that are populated, some
that aren't). In particular, it will display the
Assistant's name, but not the Manager's name.

Has anyone come across this before? Any ideas much
appreciated!

The linked table method has major limitations, including the inability to
show even all the reasonably important fields. While articles have been
written on how to expand on this method's obvious features, I've never been
able to duplicate the results. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/database.htm#linkedtables .

That page will also give you other ideas on how to work with databases and
Outlook together. You'll need to write code or use a third-party tool that
does the heavy lifting.
