Do I need to Delete temporary ContactItem objects?

[Tom Winter]

I am using a temporary ContactItem object in order to parse a mailing
address into its parts. For example:

oContactItem = oOutlook.CreateItem(olContactItem)

oContactItem.BusinessAddress = sFullAddress

MsgBox "Parsed Postal Code:" & oContactItem.BusinessAddressPostalCode

Set oContactItem = Nothing

That is the only thing I want to use the ContactItem for. My question is,
should I use ".Delete" or maybe ".Close olDiscard" or is just setting my
variable to Nothing enough to get rid of the contact item? I don't want a
wierd looking contact to show up in the user's contacts folder. Thanks!

Since you never opened it, you shouldn't need to close it. Just set it to
Nothing.

Thanks Sue. That's what I figured. It's been working fine for me.
