Importing data from MS Access to Outlook

[Ceedy]

I have tried unsuccessfully to send text message from MS Access to Outlook
Express (MS Access has a SendObject command to send data. It works but will
only send 255 or 256 characters, the rest is truncated). I'm wondering if
the opposite will work. Can I set up a form text message in Outlook and
import certain data from my MS Access database (someone's name, email, etc)
or am I way off base?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I have tried unsuccessfully to send text message from MS Access to Outlook

Outlook EXPRESS is NOT the same as Outlook.
This newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003/2007 from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://www.microsoft.com/communitie...px?dg=microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general
Good luck!

Gordon, sorry for the confusion. I want to know if I can import from Access
into Outlook (not Outlook Express). Thanks for responding.

I should have told you (if it matters) that I have Outlook 2000.

If the data to be exported is Contact related(name, email) have you
considered exporting from Access to Excel, then saving the file as a *.csv
file for import into Outlook's contacts. ?

Note: You might first export an Outlook Contact list to a csv file and load
in Excel(Use File/Open instead of double click) to familiarize with headers
in an Outlook Csv file.
