How can I generate reports based on data that is stored in Outlook?
• Import the data into another program and use that program’s report generating capabilities. Microsoft Access is typically the best program to use because you can use the Link Exchange/Outlook Wizard in Access.

If you require additional fields that the wizard does not support, you must create custom code to transfer the data from an Outlook folder into an Access table. • Automate another program from Outlook to generate a report. You can do this by using VBScript in an Outlook form, Visual Basic for Applications, or a COM add-in. • Use a third-party tool to generate reports.
