Accessing Userproperties from GAL

[Florian Rosch]

Hi,
on my self created form I have a button with the "AddRecipsViaCDO(objMail)"
function described here: http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=22 to
select a user from our Global Address List from the Exchange 2000 server. I
put the selected name into a textbox (e.g. "TextBox1").

What I need now is the value of the "Department" field (or his telephone
number or any other field that I see when I open the GAL from Outlook) from
the GAL of that user in another textbox (e.g. "TextBox2") .

How can I do this? I looked on www.outlookcode.com and searched the net, but
couldn't find an answer so far.


Please help me, thank you!!!!

Florian

The only way to get those properties is through the CDO AddressEntry object and the right MAPI property tags -- see http://www.cdolive.com/cdo10.htm
