Converting GAL address entry to outlook contact

R

Ramana

Hi,
I am writing a small script to convert all GAL address entries into outlook
contact items and copying them to contact folder.
I am using MAPI property tags for converting. I found that the data in GAL
address entry is differently stored from outlook contact. For example 'First
Name' , Middle Name and Last name exists in outlook contact item but not in
GAL address entry. How to map properties between GAL address entry and
outlook contact.
Here is another example:

In GAL
First Name: First
Initials: I
Last Name: Last

After converting this address entry to contact item using Outlook
application,

Full Name: First Last
First Name: First
Middle Name: (This is always blank)
Last Name: Last
File As: Last, First
Initials: F.L. (*Please note that this initials property is not same
as GAL entry)

Where can I get the correct mapping?

Advance Thanks
-Ramana

Looks to me like you'd want to map the GAL initials to the Outlook middle
name.
