Accessing Search Results (using Find Now in GUI) from VBA-code

Hi!

Is there anyone who knows how I could access the search results in a contact folder from VBA-code in Outlook 2003. The user will perform a standard search typing in a name and pressing the Find Now button in the Outlook GUI. The results are then displayed in the Active Explorer. But how do I get the items that is displayed? I can either see which is the active explorers folder and loop through all thoose items, or I could selected some items and loop through thoose. But I just want to loop through thoose items that are displayed/filtered after the search in the GUI, without having to select them first

How can I accomplish this?
Any help is greatly appreciated

/Henrik

You either hve to select them first or use a programmatic search method .
