Hi Tim, Well, at 5pm last Friday I posted: " I kept looking and thought I was saved when I found Receipe 10.16 in the Python Cookbook but .... I changed the following: self.oOutlookApp = Dispatch("Outlook.Application") #self.oOutlookApp = gencache.EnsureDispatch("Outlook.Application") Because gencache failed and I hade run makepy last week (I only get one day a week to look at this). Then the following failed because (as I found) olFolderContacts is not in any of constants' dictionaries. ofContacts = onMAPI.GetDefaultFolder(constants.olFolderContacts) So, sadly, I shall have to put this aside for another week and get on with some work. Any thoughts would be gratefully accepted. TIA, Bill " and since then have been busy with work, and my other job, and the garden. Now I am back looking at this (and using WInUSB to talk to a Maxim 3421E etc etc but that's another story). So any help today will be much appreciated. Rgds, Bill -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
