show this address list first

[Goldy1234]

I would like to be able to set a certain address list (a list that exists
under the Outlook Address Book) to be the first list shown in the Outlook
Address Book and when composing messages etc.

Can you give me some sample of code?!

On the Extended MAPI level (C++ or Delphi only), you would need to call
IAddrBook.SetDefaultDir().
<plug> Redemption (any programming language, URL below) would let you do
that using RDOAddressBook.DefaultAddressList or RDOAddressList.Default
properties </plug>

I'm writing this code in outlook 2003 macro editor (visual basic 6.5). It's
theres a way to do it?

 

[Goldy1234]

OK, I figure it out, but I've got one problem:

in the fild Session\AddressBook\DefaultAddressList\AddressLists there is a
error <Error in IABContainer.GetHierarchyTable: MAPI_E_UNKNOWN_FLAGS Error:
An unknown flag was passed into a method.>

because of that I can't select adresslist

sample of my code

Set Session = CreateObject("Redemption.RDOSession")
Session.MAPIOBJECT = Application.Session.MAPIOBJECT
Set AddrList = Session.AddressBook.AddressLists.Item("Users")
Session.AddressBook.DefaultAddressList = AddrList
