Linking Custom Form User-defined fields from Oulook to Access

[Fercat]

Hi!

I receive in an Outlook mail folder some custom forms that contain user
defined fields (for example, Client Name, Contract Number...).

The problem is that when I finish linking this folder in Access, the linked
table contains fields as "From" and "Subject" but the user-defined fields
are not imported.

Could you help me to solve this problem?

Thanks!!

The linked table method has major limitations, including the inability to
show even all the reasonably important fields. While articles have been
written on how to expand on this method's obvious features, I've never been
able to duplicate the results. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/database.htm#linkedtables .

That page will also give you other ideas on how to work with databases and
Outlook together. You'll need to write code or use a third-party tool that
does the heavy lifting.
