myItem.BusinessFaxNumber doesn't work

[Brad]

Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

I am trying to return the BusinessFaxNumber of a contact
by finding the contact by the FullName.

when I run the code below I get an error that says "The
object does not suppor this method" In the Locals
window, myItem has <No Variables>.

When I hold the cursor over myItem, the name I am looking
for is displayed.

Does this mean that nothing is being found?

Thanks again for the help.

Brad

Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set myNameSpace = myOlApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myContacts = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder
(olFolderContacts)

Set myItem = myContacts.Items.Find("[FullName] = ""Full
Name Here""")

myItem.BusinessFaxNumber

Hi Sue,

I added your code and there is a value in myItem. It is
equal to the vaue that the find is using to match to the
[FullName].

I got myItem.display to work. I am not sure why that
works, and the other commands don't.

Thanks again for all your great help,

Brad

I see what's happening. You didn't tell Outlook (or the rest of us) what you
wanted to do with myItem.BusinessFaxNumber. Display is a method: it makes
something happen to the item. BusinessFaxNumber is a property: it's just a
data value. If you want to return it to a variable, you have to set the
variable's value:

strFaxNo = myItem.BusinessFaxNumber
