How to use Outlook as a database "dashboard" ?

[Stephane Saindon]

Hello,

I want to migrate my front-end so that it is accessed thru Outlook.
Seems like many users would like the centralized-to-Outlook approach.

Can anybody point me to good resource and reference, because I really
don't know where to start....

thx in advance

You can't. Outlook can't call data from your Access Database. That is
similar to saying that you would like to place all your phone calls from
your oven.

WOW! Was I ever wrong.

I got to playing with this.

I right-clicked on my report and created a shortcut. I was then able to
drag that shortcut to the "Outlook Shortcuts" bar. When I clicked it, my
report ran!!!!

Give it a try.

It's pretty cool.

PLEASE DON'T MULTI-POST.

Check the web for the terms "multipost", "crosspost" and "netiquette" for
more information.

HTH,
