I am fairly new to Outlook and am looking for some help. Saw a string on
here about this from a few years ago, but didn't see a resolution other than
a reference to www.slipstick.com. Anyone know if there is a FREE solution to
this issue?
I have customer contact info stored in my Contacts in OL 2003. I have them
sorted by categories. In many cases, one contact belongs to many categories.
I would like to export my contacts, with all of the category info, to a
LINKED Access 2003 db. From there, I'll set up all of the reports I need
ONCE and then have them ready to run when I need them.
I ran a linked export (according to another post on here - thanks!), but my
category info didn't seem to export. Only selected contact info for each
individual contact (name, address, etc.).
Questions:
1) Is there a free solution to this?
2) I started to do the custom mapping step, but then skipped the rest as it
appeared OL picked up all of the fields I wanted. Is this the step I am
missing? I don't recall seeing Categories as one of the field mapping
options. ??
3) Is there another option to create queried reports (lables, form letters,
reports) in OL other than exporting the info to Access (am am simply more
familiar with Access, although not, by any means, a master programmer, so
PLEASE go easy and simple on me...)
4) Can you export the "preferred mailing" address info? It's a check-box
option when you input an address, but that didn't seem to export as well.
Thanks!
