Hi Zack,

This is completely off-topic, but I am not sure where else to turn as there is little here about Access and SharePoint and the posts that do exist are closed and quite old.... Anyway, I am stumped. If I export Northwind 2007 to WSS 3.0, the tables, like Customer, that contain 'Contact' type information get exported to an WSS 'Contact' content type. Very cool! Now you can view them in Outlook as a contact list. However, if I craft a table from hand with the exact same name, and the exact same fields, and export it, it is exported as a 'Custom' content type and I get no Outlook love. What magic is done in Northwind to make this happen? I really want to be able to do the same thing. P.S. Access makes a great front end for reporting on data from SharePoint. Please, more content about Access and WSS!!!

Sorry Daniel, that isn't something we're looking at. If you want to distribute a solution to users who don't have Access, your best bet is the Access runtime.

When will be possible to compile .mde or .accde to .exe?
