hi Ken,

My previous question was pretty simple. The Scenario I was talking about is
for outlook 2003 contact Picture, I know AddPic method can add picture that
resides on the local hard drive to a contact item, like the following

dim customcontact as ContactItem
customcontack.AddPic ("c:\temp\bill.jpg")

I was asking is there a way to load the picture not from local hard drive,
but directly from a HTTP Link, to a certain contact item. such as

dim customcontact as ContactItem
customcontack.AddPic ("http://www.microsoft.com/bill.jpg")

I have tried the AppPic("http://******"), but it didn't work out.

Thanks for any help!

As what? An embedded attachment to the contact in the Notes field or a
contact picture for Outlook 2003 or what? For a contact picture use the
HasPicture boolean property and the AddPicture and RemovePicture methods.

It's AddPicture, not AddPic. It only takes a file name and path so you'd
need to download that image from the Web and save it locally and refer to
that file path.
