Jeff,
You'll want this "Automation" book Tamar is refering to. I've just gotten it this week - primary motivation =wanted it generally!, but the catalyst was precisely your interest: talking to Outlook. So, get it, read it, work it. You'll be glad.

Thanks Tamar/Della/Ted for you latest contribution! Good luck, Jeff.

>>Is there a way I can update Outlook's 2000 contact information with data that's in my vfp 6.0 tables?

>Yes, you can do this with Automation. Here's an example from the book that Della Martin and I wrote about automating Office. It picks a random record from the TasTrade Supplier table and creates a corresponding contact in Outlook.
