How to use Access Table instead of Outlook Address Book?

[deko]

I have an Access 2003 table that holds all my contacts/email addresses - is
there a way to get Outlook to use this instead of the standard Address Book
or Contacts folder? For example, when I go to Tools >> Address Book from my
Outlook Inbox, is there a way to get my Access database/Table in the "Show
Names from..." drop down list? Or do I have to make a separate PST and
import all the data from Access?
