Here is something you might want to try...  Create a blank Access database, choose file -> get external data -> link tables.  Then pick Exchange from the list of Datasource types.  Link to the GAL from access and set it up as a datasource or use CF to pump the data from there into a different DB...  You could also setup a scheduled DTS package (if you are using SQL Server) to pump it in nightly.

This might not be the most elegant solution, but without using LDAP (which Exchange and Active Directory both use) you are kinda hosed...

HTH,

  Does anyone have experience getting access to the GAL in exchange from cf?  We are not permitted to use LDAP here.  I think I have seen active x controls that would give this access, but I can't seem to find anything that does what I need.

  Basically my CF app is putting together task information.  Then the user needs to pick someone to email information from that task.  The user that gets emailed the task may not be an application user, but will be in our gal for sure.  I would like to either have some way of querying Exchange to get the different email addresses, or a way I can generate an email in the users local outlook, then they can look up the email in the gal themselves.

  Any ideas?
