Custom Contact Activities

[Tom]

Is there a way to add custom entries to the contact activities section?
It looks like Outlook simply searches different 'folders' looking for
references to the contact. Is there a way you could search another
database or datasource somehow?

I am storing activities that are related to a contact in another system
and would love to be able to display them in Outlook.

Thanks,

Tom

Only if the database table were exposed as an Outlook folder (see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/database.htm#tools), since Activities scans only folders.
