Working with MultiValue Listbox - hide the second column?

[Rafael]

All,

I have an Outlook custom form that allows the user to search for the current
contact's email address on a selectable contacts folder
(namespace.PickFolder). The script works well and returns the first email
entry found.

What I want to do is the following:

1. Return all found entries that match the current email address and add
each entry to a list box( I have this done already)
2. Click on one of the entries (email address) and allow the user to open
the corresponding contact item based on the entry ID to make sure it is the
intended contact.

I know how to retrieve the EntryID of the contact found but I don't want to
show that information to the users.

Is it possible to populate a listbox with just the email address and used
the second column to store the EntryID and yet hide this second column from
the user?

Perhaps I'm going about this the wrong way so any ideas will be greatly
appreciated.

Regards,

Rafael

Set the ColumnWidths property of the box so that the column you want to hide has a width of 0.

Ok, a follow up question Sue, how do I search for a contact by it's EntryID?

This code works for finding email but not for EntryID:

Works for email:
objContact = myItems.Find("[Email1Address]= """ & myEmail & """")

Does NOT work for EntryID:
objContact = myItems.Find("[EntryID]= """ & myEntryID & """")


Thanks,

Rafael

If you looked at the Help topic on Find, you'd see that EntryID doesn't work with it. Instead, use the Namespace.GetItemFromID method.
