Reading E-Mail Addresses from WAB

[Bill]

In another thread, I've had a single discussion about
reading e-mail addresses from the Windows Address
Book. That discussion led to the discovery of a
kWAB.dll found by Dirk Goldgar at:
http://www.veign.com/vrc_codeview.asp?type=app&id=91

As Dirk put it, kWAB.dll is a "black-box". There are a
couple of sample VB files that ought to help figure out how
to use the dll, but so far I've "struck-out". (It would probably
help if I had a VB editor like Visual Studio, but such is not
the case.)

First, is anyone familiar with kWAB enough to tell me how
to call it from VBA? Second, is there any other package
with English documentation to accomplish the same thing.

I'm looking for a functional equivalent of:

strEMailAddress = WABExtract(strEntryName)

E.g., WABExtract("Earthlink Support") returns
(e-mail address removed)

Turns out that one can copy/paste kWAB's frm and
bas files into VBA code-sheets and weed out the
essentials of interfacing with the kWAB dll. A little
messy, but understandable after close inspection.

I'm still open to anyone's suggestion for a less
cumbersome arrangement.

Thanks,
Bill
