synchronize outlook contacts with ms access 2013
Hello,
I have an outlook configured with exchange but I need to manipulate the contacts info, so I thought could be possible with ms access 2013 but I can't find a solution to do it. I need to create some queries in access with the contacts info, delete duplicate records, create query with all users that have an email on the field email, and some other things, but I need to keep updated my outlook contacts info.
Any idea? some guidelines or a place where can I find info about?
There are around 15 thousand records on the conacts folder, so do it one by one is complicated.
Thanks

This is not an easy task. In the sample database for my last printed book, the Access 2007 VBA Bible, I did synchronization between Access and Outlook contacts (for Office 2007). Since Access is a relational database, with one-to-many relationships between companies and contacts, and contacts and phones and IDs, this involved denormalizing the data when moving Access data to Outlook, and normalizing the Outlook data when moving it to Access. Lots of code there.
