Access to Outlook

[Peter T]

Hi

I have a large Access database and I want to run part of it on Outlook.

That's easy - import it into Outlook and link back, using Outlook as a
Table.

Snag is that the database contains several fields that I want in Outlook and
although I can set up as User defined fields, I can't map to them as I can't
*see* them in the Import wizard so I can't upload the data. I can only see
a lot of 'standard' Outlook fields that I don't want and can't delete!

Does anyone know if it's possible to map to user defined fields, please?

Peter

No, you can't map or import/export custom fields.
