Can't seem to get a name from the address book

[Dewey]

Hi
I'm trying to use a call to the AddressBookk function to bring up the
global address book and get a name. However, every time I put a name in the
"To" box in the Address List and click okay, the function returns as nothing.
Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm not being prompted for
security concerns, so I don't think it's that. Here's what I have: (This is
being done in VB.net btw):


Public Function AddressBook_Click(ByVal myChoice As String) As String

Dim objSession As Object 'As MAPI.Session

Dim objRecipients As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Recipients

On Error Resume Next
objSession = CreateObject("MAPI.Session")
objSession.Logon(, , False, False)
objRecipients = objSession.AddressBook(, "Choose an address", True,
True, 1, "mychoice")

AddressBook_Click = objRecipients.Item(1).AddressEntry

End Function


Thanks for your help
-Josh

Session.AddressBook returns CDO Recipients, not Outlook Recipients.

CDO isn't supported for .NET use. It might work, it might not, it might just
until you deploy your app and break at the customer site.
