I would like to access the "contact" data in Outlook Express.
Which reference do I have to use ? (I was thinking at "Office").

Thanks
for any help

Hi Serge

If this is a question for VB.net

Have a look at these links
Office

OE does not offer a COM automation model. There is no (official) interface
to OE.

Correction, see the message from Armin.
These links are for Outlook Exchange and not for Outlook Express

Are you requring Outlook Express to be silent during the process you are
accessing the information?

Try this:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(wab)

gets the current address book.

the "wab" must be set into double quotes.

I remember that some worms took the addresses out of OE's (which is
actually Windows', AFAIK) address book. Consequently, there must be a
way to do that.

picky picky . I figured he would know that.

But you are right of course.

May be, but he was talking about OE.
