    Linking to Contact File in Exchange 2000 Public Store

    I'm trying to create a link from Access 2003 to an Exchange 2000
    Public Folder called "WMContacts " I choose File => Get External Data=>
    Link Tables. I choose Exchange() and the wizard give me the Link
    Exchange/Outlook Wizard. From there I choose Public Folders => All
    Public Folders => WMContacts. I leave the linked table name as
    "WMContacts ". It then displays a nastygram with the following:

    "The MAPI store "WMContacts " is known but is not available in the
    current profile. This can occur if you use a profile that is designed
    for working offline from a server and try to link to a folder or
    address book on the server. The wizard is unable to link to it."

    My goal is to link from Access to this folder. When I change a data
    item in another access table, I will write a program that finds the
    same record in the public folder on the exchange server and updates
    the appropriate record's field based on the Access table.

    I have deleted the outlook profile several times and recreated it
    without any offline selections. How do I successfully make this link?

    Thanks,

      I encountered the same problem with the identical error, even with a
      profile that was not enabled for offline use. After a lot of trial and
      error I was able to link the table by removing all custom views that
      had been created for the folder.
