How do I pull active directory information into an outlook form?

[jcross]

I am trying to create a custom form for new tasks in Outlook 2003. I have
created the form but I would like to pull information such as "requested by"
from Active directory. I do not see a way to do this. The standard form does
this so it must be possible.

If what you're looking for is the current user's name, you can get that from Application.Session.CurrentUser.

I am trying to pull active directory names into a task form so I can put in a
requested by field. Current user is automatically pulled in to owner.

All the address lists that the user can see are exposed in the Namespace.AddressLists collection. Return the one you need and iterate its AddressList.AddressEntries collection.

Nevermind. I will just use another product.
