AskWoody LoungerThat’s a great idea — this article is 4 pages long. I’ll put all the text into a borderless table with one row and one column, and then Format ==> Columns and make it 2 columns. I still won’t be able to hit to go to the other side since the table is one column and one row, but I had never thought of that as a way to get the multi-column look.
Cheers
to you too, and thanks!

AskWoody LoungerThanks so much, Mary!
How can I uninstall “Microsoft Fax” then? We are in “Corporate or Workgroup” mode by the way, if that helps…

AskWoody LoungerI know that the GAL at my place of employment is read-only for most users, so I’ve never been able to experiment with that one, although I know that for other data sources, it is two way, meaning that if changes made in the source file are reflected in the linked Access table, and vice-versa. Take for example an Access table that is linked to a Contacts folder in Outlook — that’s two way. Same with an Access table linked to an Excel file. Do you want it to be a two-way link? If the linked GAL ends up being two-way, the Exchange Administrator program should help you set up permissions to deny that capability. Anyway, if it is two way, let me know, I’m curious!

AskWoody LoungerThanks so much! I’ll forward this to the person that will be using this. BTW, I’m not nauseous anymore, either!

AskWoody LoungerBy the way, H, let me know if you happen to have Access 97 instead of Access 2000 — there’s a way to do it in Access 97, too.

AskWoody LoungerHi, just in case you haven’t received a response yet, here’s a way to create a table in Access (2000) that is linked to the GAL:
1. In Access 2000, click the “New” button on the “Tables” tab
2. Choose the “Link Table” option
3. The “Link” dialog box appears. Choose “Exchange” from the list box at the bottom labeled, “Files of Type”
4. The “Link Exchange/Outlook Wizard” appears.
5. Expand the “Address Books” node, and select, “Global Address List”
6. Press the “Next” button, change the name of the linked table if you’d like, and then press the “Finish” button.Since it’s a linked table, the data will reflect the real-time status of the accounts in the GAL.
Hope this helps!
