I'm not clear on just what you're trying to do. ContactNames is a string property, so you assign its value simply as:

Item.ContactNames = "name1, name 2"

Are you thinking instead of the Contacts box at the bottom of the task form? That exposes the Links collection, which uses this syntax:

Item.Links.Add theContactItem

where theContactItem is an Outlook contact. In other words, you'd need to create (or return) a contact first, before you can add it as a linked contact to the Links collection.

I'm not sure what "contact text box" you're referring to. The Contacts box on the main page (not a text box, but a recipients control) is associated with the Links collection, not the ContactNames property.

Probably, but the details will depend on exactly what you mean by "put a value ... when ... selected (by combo) ... " etc. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/propsyntax.htm

My Pb is to " display " the value

When I do this

Item.ContactNames = " (e-mail address removed)" nothing is displayed in Contacts
"text box"

if I save and quit and reopen the task (e-mail address removed) is now displayed in
contacts how can I display imediatly " (e-mail address removed) " in contacts
(textbox) by code ( if companies = "ABC" then contactnames ="
(e-mail address removed) ") this code set the value of contactNames to (e-mail address removed) but
nothing is visible on the form

I hope I've been as clear as possible

tks

You would need to use the TaskItem.Links technique that I already described.
