Hi All,
I've found a couple of old posts about this but nothing seems to work correctly. I've succesfully linked an Outlook Contacts database to my Access application and created a form that lists contacts. But I now want to open the Outlook Contact form with a specific contact selected. It's important that I open the real Outlook form rather than creating my own custom one in VB as we use an Outlook plugin to our telephone system and the controls are only available on the Outlook Contact form.
So all I need is a button from the form where I've selected a specific contact which goes off to Outlook and opens the contact form with that contact selected.
Many thanks.
PS - Currently using Office 2003 but may move on to 2007 or 2010 in next few months. Don;t know if methods will be the same.
