I currently have a custom form in Outlook 98 that posts the responses to a public folder. I need to get that information into an Access 97 database without retyping it. Any suggestions?

Memory is foggy here, so am not certain Access 97 will do it for you. In Access 2k, it is rather simple to create either an import table or a link table to an Outlook folder. I don't recall that it was advertised as an "amazing new feature!" in 2k, so I think Access 97 should be able to also. However, I don't recall every actually trying it in 97 to be sure.

Select Table > New > Link Table, and in the file dialog, see if Outlook() isn't listed among your Files of Type: drop down. If it is, you should be able to link to your Contact List or a folder within Personal Folders or Public Folders.

Yes, I am aware that outlook 2k does it. Unfortunately the older versions didn't. I think I've seen something about have to do some custom code (way beyond my capabilities). Any help would be great.
