>>Sooo... Does this mean we have to buy your next book or lunch or something?

No... In fact, often has been the case where I have lifted code out of the book and have posted it up here. I dunno...seems like the right thing to do. Then again, I am just evil person who is always at odds with public opinion..< bg >

>>For the benefit of those lurking, here is code that adds Outlook Contacts to a VFP cursor. For brevity, I only included 2 fields. I have a complete set of classlibraries that encapsulates this process. If you want them, just send me an email. I will also upload them here and will post a link to my web site.

>>Sorry folks, I have a problem with folks who could, or at least should be able to answer a question without forcing somebody to buy one's book...< s >.. Don't get me wrong... I encourage folks to purchase the books they believe they need to do their jobs. However, when somebody steers you to a website to buy their book as opposed to answering the question, this IMO, goes over the line. This is after all, a VOLUNTEER SUPPORT FORUM.

>>In addition, you can write code that reads the Outlook address book. The new book that Della Martin and I have coming out this month (Microsoft Office Automation with Visual FoxPro) includes an example that reads the Contacts folder from Outlook and creates a VFP cursor. You can check the book out at www.hentzenwerke.com. (PUTM members also get a discount. Go through the link on the main UT page.)
