outlook contact transfer to infopath 2003 SP1

[Dirk]

Hi,

a function to get all contact fields in a infopath form would be great.

Selecting the contact by a searching field, with the oportunity to edit the
contact.

Then transfering the contact informations in the infopath form, which should
be editable (for example change the name to the company ....)

Many thanks in advance

I don't know if it's possible but by default you have to define a value
so you can use Xpath expression to bind that to a field like a dropdown
box and you can populate with a connection with a xml file that contain
your e-mail.

But if you want really to export your contact from outlook see the
outlook information about how to export a contact list and after try to
import that with a script in infopath.
Good luck say me what the solution you have made i'm interested

Dear Virgul !

www.smarttools.de has a soloution to get outlook adresses into word or excel.

You can selecet and edit in this programm outlook contacts and transfer the
selected adress into word or excel sheet.

Advantage you can use the outlook contact database instead of a sepereat
adress database.

In the same way I would like to use outlook for infopath adress input.

I am just working around to find one soloution.

Best wishes
