Outlook 2007 data files: identify label for Bus. Card Pic. John W. Weaver 4/26/2007 8:32:00 PM Using Outlook 2007 Contacts as database for mail/merge. How do I identify the picture in a Business Card as a column in the outlook database file? Want to make a catalog of contacts for a church register

Card Pic. kchieff <chieff[ at ]softskills.com> 4/27/2007 3:35:24 AM Not sure that I'm providing the answer that you requested, but the picture itself is most likely NOT stored in a column in the database file. Most likely it's been stored as a type IMAGE. In which case all you'll see in the table is a column with a 16-bit pointer to an off-table 8K date page that stores the image, and if the image exceeds that 8K date page, there will be a pointer to the NEXT 8K data page, and on and on. So, I don't think you'll 'see' the value, like you might a text value in a column. Does that answer the question? Kevin Chieff On Thu, 26 Apr 2007 13:32:00 -0700, John W.

Re: Outlook 2007 data files: identify label for Bus. Card Pic. John W. Weaver 4/27/2007 6:02:04 AM I selected "All contact fields" to display the "Output Data File" and I found no column with a 16-bit pointer. There is an Icon; however, clicking on it just plays back the Business Card with all information on it. I only want the picture! Any other ideas?

Re: Outlook 2007 data files: identify label for Bus. Card Pic. "Lon Orenstein" <Lon[ at ]pinpointtools.com> 4/30/2007 2:41:41 AM I believe the answer is to use Publisher 2007's Catalog Merge but I don't know the exact procedures. I'm working on a project now and should have the answer in the next few days. If someone else knows, please jump in.
