I have 4k journals that I have imported from excel 2003 (file format) into

outlook with the contact name in the beginning of the subject field (so all

journals are grouped by contact name followed by the subject and the person

who authored the journal). Now I would like to link each group of journals

to their respective contact. Is there a way to highlight all the journals

(e.g. 20 journals) and link them to their respective contact, without doing

them one at a time?
 
No, not without writing code for that.

You'd have to get the ActiveExplorer.Selection collection, iterate it and

for each member of the collection open it as a JournalItem, then get the

appropriate contact and add that contact to the Links collection of each

JournalItem, using the Links.Add() method which takes a ContactItem as an

argument.

Thanks for your answer. I know there is an issue with exporting and

importing outlook data and the links surviving the process. A method of

re-linking journals to their respective contacts (as you have described

below), I image would be of great use to many. But, unfortunately what you

have described below, sounds like Chinese to me (I have limited VBA

experience in Excel, and none in Outlook).

If there is someone on this broad that knows VBA backwards and forwards, I

image this would be a FUN project to test your skills on (and seeing that it

is probably a slow week leading up to July 4) and would be greatly

appreciated by those who are not as advanced and would be a great learning

experience as we analyze how the problem was solved.

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to take on this challenge -- Lightjag
