There are no Remove() or Delete() methods either in the AddressLists or
AddressList collection or object. You can get the AddressEntry of the
corrupted object from the AddressList.AddressEntries collection and delete
that if you want.

The only way to set or change ShowAsOutlookAB is to get the folder you want
and clear that Boolean flag property, so at some point to do that you will
need to access the folder.

OK thanks for your reply.

but I need a way to do this...

So do you know if I can delete the adress book from my profil and recreate
it whit vb ?
It would reset my adresslist as I want.


Others Ideas are welcome

No, there's nothing like that which can be done using code. Just delete the
corrupted contact.
