[phill86]

Hi,

I want to be able to save client details that are stored in my database to an outlook contacts folder which is stored on an exchange server i can get it to update my personal contacts folder no problem.

does any one know how to edit/create a smart tag so that i can point it to the location on the server

Apologies if this is not an Access question

Any pointers are much appreciated

Regards Phill

Phill,
See this link for a smart tag "how to" that is similar to the functionality you want to develop.

Phill,
I have not yet utilized the smartTags feature, but the link shown below has vba code snippets for modifying smartTag property settings programmaticall y ....and if you experiment with the intellisense, you should be able to access the properties and methods you need.
