Hi Gerry,

In the code I posted, oOlC is the Items collection. Each member of the collection is an entry. Think of it as an array. So, for example, if you wanted the primary email address of the 10th person:

?oOlC.Items(10).Email1Address

Now, if you need to pare down the list, you can create another collection using the oOlC.Restrict method to create a list of filtered entries.
