Vicki,
There's a help file on the Office or Outlook CD called VBAOUTL.HLP. It has documentation of the Outlook object model. It should help you figure out what you'll need to do. Also, John Petersen has created some samples of automating Office applications. Take a look in the Files section here under VFP in General. I think it's called something like JVP's automation samples.

>I have a VFP app and I have heard that through COM, I can use OutLook as my contact manager within my VFP app. I have a basic familiarity with how COM works. I know how to instantate Outlook, but I'm having trouble finding documentation on how to use outlook as my contact manager. Please guide my in the right direction.
