SMTP addresses from Distribution lists - best procedures

[Andy Max Jensen]

Hi,

I would like to retreive all names and smtp addresses from
Distribution List in the default Contact folder.

But I'm really not sure how to do this the best way.

If I got it right; cdo.dll is not nessesarily installed with Office
Windows and the Jet providers is not nessesarily available either!?

Using the Outlook object model is reallly slow.

How would you handle this? And how would you resolve SMTP addresses?

Tahnks!

One approach might be to use the SaveAs method to save it as a .txt file,
then parse that file, which will be a tab-delimited list (after a few lines
at the top with the name of the DL.

FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for general Outlook programming
issues "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba
