I have an SQL database that collects contact information from a web
application. How can I synchronize this with what is in Outlook? I want to
be able to add any new contacts, and update any changes in a contact's
information.

Thanks for your help.

Hi

Also there is an Exchange/Outlook IISAM Driver which works with ADO, but it
has many limitation.
So far where did you want to run the code that update the contacts.
If you want to run against the outlook client, we can use Outlook Object
Modal to update the Contacts.
Or we can use WebDAV (Code can run anywhere)
and
CDOEX and/or ADO with the EXOLEDB Provider (Code would need to run on the
Exchange Server).

Here are some information for your referecne.

BTW: for exchange server side code, I think you may try to post in the
exchange dev newsgroup.
Exchange2000.development queue.

However, this queue is not a MSDN managed queue yet. That means you won't
be guranteed to get a reply in 2 business days there. So if the issue is
urgent for you, I think the best way is to use one of your MSDN subscriber
free support incident to contact our customer support service. There will
be one Exchange dev support engineer working specially with you on it.

much for your understanding.
