contact item deleted but EntryID still exists

[Theo Maucher]

Hello,

I've a connection between a database (Access2000) and the contacts folder in
Outlook2000. I store the objContactItem.EntryID of the contact in the
database.

If a contact has been deleted manually in Outlook, the EntryID still exists
(in Outlook) and the database connection could find the whole record.
If a contact has been deleted by objContact.Delete, the whole record vanishs
finally.

Is there any property or something else which let me see from the database
that the record has been deleted already in Outlook.

Thanks
Theo
