Are you using Microsoft Access? If so, it is easy to use the Link Tables
feature to read directly from your Address Book or Contacts folder; the data
will be imported as a table.

Otherwise, just iterate through all the objects in the MAPIFolder.Items
collection of your Contacts folder, and parse the properties of the
ContactItem objects to create records in your database using whatever
database API (DAO, ADO, etc.) you need to use.
