Outlook database

[Jonas]

Hi

does someone know how I can access the internal Outlook db with ADO or DAO.
I want to export my contacts with a macro, so how can I do a "SELECT * FROM
OutlookContacts" ?

I would highly appreciate any idea or web reference !

Thanks.

Regards,

Jonas

Using ADO with the Outlook IISAM driver only makes available 44 fields
from a contact item and the names of the fields are different in many
cases than the Outlook property names. You'd be far better off using
the Outlook object model.

For information about accessing Outlook data using database type
methods see http://www.slipstick.com/dev/database.htm
