Lookup an email address in the Global Address List or Active Direc

[Omar]

Hello All,

I am facing this problem.

is there a way to search for an employee's email in the company's active
directory or Global Address List and store it in a text box?

I have a form with 2 text boxes, 1 listbox, and a command button. I want to
type the first name or the last name in the the first or second text boxes
(respectively) and when I hit the command button, it searches in the Active
directory or Global Address List and the results are desplayed in the
listbox, then at double clicking the correct result, the email is copied in a
text box in another form.
What I cannot do is the bit of searching in the AD or GAL.
thanks

From the database window, select Tables - New - Link.
On the bottom-most drop-box, select Exchange.
This should start a wizard which will let you link to Address Books.
Once it's complete, you should be able to use this link just like any
other table.

Thanks for the tip.
I tried it and the GAL was succefully linked the Access Database. the
problem is that it is taking forever to search. is this normal?
