Hi

I have created a user form which displays a list of my
outlook contacts. These contact details are then used
for addressing letters, labels, memos etc. this works
wonderfully unless I have distribution lists in my
outlook contacts area - it will then show "Runtime error
13 - type mismatch"

Please, how can I get my contact drop down list in my
user form to not display distribution lists and not crash
either.

Thanks very much.

Hi Ken

Thanks for the information. I have entered the code
exactly as you recommended, I am still getting the data
type mismatch error 13 when distribution lists are
present, no errors if there are only standard contacts.
Is there anything else I could be missing?

Many Thanks

Kerry

Looks OK. On what line are you getting the error? have you tried stepping
your code?
