Retrieving Address Book

[Mark Tracey]

Does anyone know how to access the Exchange Address book. I've found the
example given on MSDN, where a wizard creates an access database, and the vb
program then accesses it.

There must be a more direct way of accessing this info.

Basically, I want to be able to get a list of email addresses from the
Global Address book...

Also does anyone know about LDAP in VB. I've found some info relating to
VC++

If you could reply directly, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks very much

Mark

Use CDO - Collaboration Data Objects - or the Outlook Object Model to get at data in Exchange.

You can use either MAPI (Mail API) or ADSI (Active Directory Service
Interface)

ADSI is a COM/ActiveX object which you can use in VB w/ no problems

Hi Tony,

I'm using the MAPI controls (mes and ses) in a VB program I am working
on but cannot find any information on getting names out of the address
book, only the resolve method.

Do you know of any doco for this?

Thanks
Phil
