I've no experience of this (beyond the experiment I just conducted) so can't warn you in advance about specific pitfalls, but it's possible with the 2007 versions of Access and Outlook to open (link) an Outlook folder directly from Access. I just had the contents of my Calendar apppear as records in Access. I'd guess this will be the easiest option: simply run append queries in Access to create new Calendar items. In A2007, open your (COPY OF THE LIVE) database, pick the External Data tab, and under More.. you'll see an option to link to an Outlook Folder. How easy is that? Interested to hear how you get on. Work only with copies of your live files until you're really confident, and then take frequent backups. Phil, London |
