The purpose of this code is to read the Outlook Contacts Folder into an ADO RecordSet. Often you want to let your app use either the Outlook Contacts or your own. This will give you a jump start.
Code Returns
ADO RecordSet
VBcodersSub Outlook_Contacts()
Dim ADOConn As ADODB.Connection
Dim ADORS As ADODB.Recordset
Dim strConn As String
Set ADOConn = New ADODB.Connection
Set ADORS = New ADODB.Recordset
With ADOConn
'Change the Connection String below
' to the correct settings
.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0;Exchange 4.0;MAPILEVEL=Outlook Address Book\;PROFILE=Outlook;TABLETYPE=1;DATABASE=c:\temp"
.Open
End With
With ADORS
Set .ActiveConnection = ADOConn
.CursorType = adOpenStatic
.LockType = adLockReadOnly
.Open "Select * from [Contacts]"
.MoveFirst
'Test: just loop thru the first contact
Dim i As Long
For i = 0 To ADORS.Fields.Count - 1
Debug.Print ADORS(i).Name + _
vbTab + Format(ADORS(i).Value)
Next i
.Close
End With
Set ADORS = Nothing
ADOConn.Close
Set ADOConn = Nothing
End Sub
