Adding Contacts to wab file with ms Access - more details

S

Steph

Maybe I wasn't clear enough. Here's some more explanation

I've been able to refresh my outlook contacts by deleting them and adding
the new ones from a database. I used Access 2000 to do that. It works
perfectly.

I want to do the same thing in the wab file but I can't figure how to do it

any ideas?

There's kWab, a DLL that contains functions to read and write the
address book. It appears to work, but I have done nothing more than
make a quick test of it. The utility's home page is here:

http://www.locati.it/michele/kwab/

The license agreement is unusual: here's a quote:
<quote>
This dll is freely usable, for commercial purpose too. The only
limitation is included in its licence: I called it softwareware:
any program that uses it must be sent to me ... in their complete
version (not the demo one, neither the shareware one, nor the
time-limited one), completly free for me (I dont's have to pay not even
an euro, not even for the eventual shipment expenses)(the same for the
services or other).

Giving my customer's application to someone I don't know and not even be
sure that it will work as I want.

I don't think it's a good idea.

Feel free to contact the author and express your concerns. Maybe you
can make your own arrangement.

Or you could program the WAB API yourself, which I believe is what the
author of kWab did. See this link:
