SUMMARY
If you want to import one of your Microsoft Outlook 97 Personal Address
Books into a Microsoft Access 97 table or have a Microsoft Access table
linked to your Outlook Inbox, you can use Microsoft Access to query your
incoming e-mail for specific information. You can do this using the Import
Exchange/Outlook Wizard and the Link Exchange/Outlook Wizard available on
the Microsoft Web site.
With these wizards, you can view and work with information from your e-mail
folders and address books using Microsoft Access.
MORE INFORMATION
Which wizard you use depends on whether you want to link or import your e-
mail data.
When you link to a table, you can read and update the data from Outlook and
from your Microsoft Access database, and you can see changes to your mail
folder or address book data in your linked Microsoft Access table. You
cannot change the structure of a linked table.
When you import a table, the data in Outlook and in your database are
maintained separately, and you can change the structure of the imported
table.
