I am fairly new to access , so please excuse my ignorance. I set up a list
of my business contacts in access but I want to send that list of addresses
and info to my address book in outlook express. Is this possible? if so,
how? please...
thank you.

Contacts can be imported from OE. Try File / Import / Address Book...
Notice that it requires a .wab file. I have no clue what a wab file is, but
I know how to find out.

Enter a couple of enteries into your OE Contacts, then export them. Try to
open the exported file in Notepad. If it opens, then what you can do is
export your Access data into the same format as is the .wab file, then
import to OE.

You said "Outlook Express" -- did you really mean Outlook Express, or did you mean
Outlook (they are different applications, and function differently)?

If you did mean Outlook Express, then no, it's not possible to "send" the data to the
address book. The workaround is to export the contact list from your db as a csv (comma
separated values) file. You can then (in Outlook Express) import this file into the the
address book.

If you meant Outlook, then this link should help (watch the wrap):
