Contact E-mail Address

[Guest]

Hello,

I'm sure this has already been answered but I don't even know the term for
it so I've been having a hard time looking it up.

When a user is creating a new e-mail and starts typying in the recipients
e-mail address, Outlook displays a list of previously entered e-mail
addresses even if they are not in the contact listing. Is there a way to
access this list from VBA? And what is this list referred to as?

Thank you for your help,

Daniel P

Neither the autocompletion or nickname lists are accessible to code.

It wouldn't happen to get be writen to a file that could at least be
accessed; by any chance?

The NIK or NIK2 files are in the file system but are binary data and not
documented. You'd have to reverse engineer them. There is at least one
editor for those files, so someone has done it but it's not documented
anywhere that I know of.
