Access to SMTP addresses in an Outlook/Exchange offline Address Book

[Dave]

I am an Outlook/Exchange user who wants to be able to
extract the names (last, first), "company", and SMTP
addresses from an Outlook/Exchange offline Address Book.
This information will be used to populate a Contacts
folder. I want the name/company/SMTP in a contacts folder
so it can be sync'd with a Palm, and for access from the
company's webmail browser. Ideally if I could get the
information extracted to a .csv file I could manipulate it
from there.

If it helps ...... I can find my way around Outlook, but
am not an experienced VBA user. However, I have mid-level
Visual Basic 6.0 skills which could help with file parsing
and/or VBA code.

Can anyone help? If coding is required, a sample of
VBA/VB code, if possible, would be a HUGE step forward and
greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Dave

If you still want to go the route of using an in-house solution that uses
VB/VBA/VBScript and Collaboration Data Objects to extract the data
programmatically, just post back and I will dig up a sample for you.

neo,

Thank you for the quick response. I went to the site you
recommended and found it very helpful. However when I
followed the "PAB + Outlook Express Method" I could only
get a small number of contacts copied to the Personal
Address Book. Whenever I tried to copy a large number of
entries, I'd receive an error message like 'could only
copy some entries'. When I looked in the PAB there were
no entries copied.

After checking out the other methods, I figured that if I
could solve the problem with "Address Magic", it was well
worth the $30. Before purchasing it I'm going to post a
request to the forum to see if anyone has positive or
negative experiences with the product.

Do you have any experience with Address Magic?

Thanks again for your help -- Dave

I've used the personal edition version (timed trial) and it works really
well. (I wanted to convert an Exchange GAL to LDIF format so I could learn
about LDAP.)

Did you want me to dig up that sample?
