Accessing Outlook/Exchange contacts - Best Strategy

[Atlas]

Digging around I've found that there is no way to access Outlook/Exchange
data using the .mdb/linked table wizard technique, that is you have to code!

There's a quite simple sample on MS explaining how/to @
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290792/); basically it shows how to move
data between a table and Outlook.

Assuming I'd like to update data on the Exchange Server, that means I need
to read and update data from a SQL server table.

Apart form thinking about the effectiveness of this technique, also
wondering if there's a less complex method to acheive the same result,
considering also the multiuser environment......

For what I know, Exchange doesn't use SQL-Server as its backend database.

You should ask your question in a newsgroup about Exchange, not in one about
ADP. You will probably find that going this way is probably more
complicated then accessing Outlook.

Glad you know, I did allready.

Sorry about you thinking this post is OT but it it isn't at all.

We are taking about Access->Exchange, not generic exchange topic.

And we're talking .adp.

And you should read the MS article I was talking about!
