Address Lists, Contacts, and Categories, Oh My

B

Bernie

Well I am a bit confused and I am hoping that a little insight migh
clear up my brain about all this

We have written a Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) program that i
to run through our address books and collect email addresses fro
contacts that we have assigned to a specific catagory

Well I guess we don't get the difference between the "address list
entries and the contact entries. As near as we can tell the addres
list entry is merely an email address and display name. There seem
to be no connection between that and the contact item that generate
that entry. We see there is no "category" property associated wit
an address entry

So that would leave us to write the program to scan through th
contacts folder (rather than the address list) selecting out on th
category like we want and then pulling out all the possible emai
addresses that contact might have (email1, email2, emails)

What a bother. (Contact folders could be nested...it seems addres
lists are not

Is there some way that the entry in the address ist can be easil
linked back to the conact entry? What way we can easily scan th
address entries, check the contact category and be done.

Thanks in advance for the help it is appreciated

Berni
