Hi there
If you are running Exchange Server, you can access Contacts stored in address lists on the server via LDAP (assuming the Exchange Server has the LDAP protocol enabled). I'm not sure that you can get at the addresses in a user's personal Address Book quite so easily. Look on the MSDN for info on using LDAP with Exchange.

Dear David you bang on target.
How do application can read fred's address book of Microsoft Outlook.
As Fred click on "Email this". There should be one pop with email
addresses from Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express not from data base.
My application do not have the address of Bill in database, but it is in
Microsoft Address book. So at Run time I want to read the email address of
bill from address book.
Thanks a lot.
