What code do you use exactly? Do you automate Outlook from Access?

What code do you use exactly? ...NO CODE, i do it manually

Do you automate Outlook from Access ?...in this case NO

I want only add ++new-Contact++ to ++MyBook.PST (outlook file)++ not to default Contacts.

The forum is for developers. I'd suggest asking non-programming questions on theOutlook IT Pro Discussions or Microsoft Community forums instead.

If you want to change that behaviour - change which PST file is set to be the "default data file"....

++NOT POSSIBLE+++ FOR MyBook.PST

Account settings.DATA FILES.MyEmails.pst....SET AS DEFAULT...OK

=============

Account settings.ADDRESS BOOKS.CHANGE (CANNOT...SET AS DEFAULT)

SELECT FOLDER AND THEN "SHOW THIS FOLDER AS AN EMAIL ADDRESS BOOK"

FOLDERS.MyBook.PST.MyContacts.properties.Outlook Address Book."SHOW THIS FOLDER AS AN EMAIL ADDRESS BOOK"

++NOT POSSIBLE+++ FOR MyBook.PST

You'll need to explain why setting you "Mybook.PST" as the default data store is not possible or what you mean by "Account settings.ADDRESS BOOKS.CHANGE (CANNOT...SET AS DEFAULT" (AB's are never set as the default).

To repeat - the "default contact folder" is contained in the "default data file" as configured in
Account Settings --> Data Files tab

Settings for the AB in terms of which folder is displayed when opened is controlled by how the AB is configured via the AB options setting (open the AB --> from the AB menu --> Tools --> Options). Whichever contact folder is set to open as the default has absolutely no impact on the workings of a "default contact file". The two are completely separate items.

Until you understand the difference between what a "default contact folder" is in an Outlook profile and what appears by default in the AddressBook - going to be pointless to keep repeating the same information over and over again.

Assuming that you have more than one contact folder in your Outlook profile - how exactly are you determining what your "default contact folder" is (and please don't respond by stating it's the one that shows by default in the AddressNook).

I am sory for mis-under-standing....

MY-DEFAULT-CONTATCS folder...what appears by default in the AddressBook

it's the one that shows by default in the AddressBook

I want to ADD New Contacts to MY-DEFAULT-CONTATCS in MyBook.pst outlook-data-file

I have to PST files:

1.MyEmails.PST......for eMails

2.MyBook.PST.......for Contacts

==========================

how exactly are you determining what your "default contact folder"

FOLDERS.MyBook.PST.MyContacts.properties.Outlook Address Book."SHOW THIS FOLDER AS AN EMAIL ADDRESS BOOK"

OUTLOOK.ACCOUNTSETTINGS.ADRESSBOOKS.CHANGE:

1.Contacts: MyEmails.PST......(IF  DELETED, AFTER RESTART, AGAIN APPEARS HERE...!!!)

2.Contacts: MyBook.PST.......<----DESIRED-DEFAULT-ADRESSBOOK

You keep asking the same question and going to keep getting the same answer. Nothing more that I can add to this so will leave this to someone else who hopefully can explain it better for you.

One last time - you need to set the MyBook.Pst as the "default data file" under Account Settings--> Data Files" which has absolutely nothing to do with the "AddressBook"

Hi, thanks ,  i am sorry...

OUTLOOK.ACCOUNTSETTINGS.ADRESSBOOKS.CHANGE:

1.Contacts: MyEmails.PST......default data file ......FOR EMAILS...............OK

2.Contacts: MyBook.PST.......<----DESIRED-DEFAULT-ADRESSBOOK........???

Re-read my previous response. There is no point in repeating the same information.

OK,only ONE can be designated as the "default data file"

, but it is not USER-FREANDLY......cryhard.gif,cryhard.gif,cryhard.gif
