Default Linking Contacts from Outlook to Access (Off 2007)

I've finally figured out how to link my Outlook Contacts list from Outlook to
Access (although I'm still looking for the code to do this programmatically).
However, it looks like this is probably only a view of the data, and several
critical fields (including email addresses) are missing. I noticed that if I
export my contact list to Access, it does include the email addresses, but I
was hoping to synch the two.

I've seen a couple of older (year or more) posts indicating that linking to
the contact list is problematic. Does anyone have any alternatives that
would provide a more robust solution and provide access to fields not
available through linking?

Check this article out:
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadF...tegration.aspx.

I used the code in there to create a contact, and there is code to iterate
through your contacts, so you should be able to manipulate them further. The
code is all in C#, but shouldn't be too difficult to convert to VB for use
inside access.
