>Does anybody know how I would go about accessing the MS Outlook Contacts so that I can get info out of them for my application.

Taken from a VFP forum message by John Koziol. You'll have to translate. ;-)

oOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")	&& Open Outlook
oOlNS  = oOlApp.GetNameSpace("MAPI")	  && Set name space
oOlC   = oOlNS.GetDefaultFolder(10)	&& 10 = Default contacts folder

cFind="John Smith"
oItem=olC.Items.Find('[FullName] = "&cFind"')
IF !ISNULL(oItem)
   oItem.GetInspector
   oItem.Display
ELSE
   oExplorer=olC.GetExplorer
   oExplorer.Display
ENDIF

You can substitue FOR EACH ... NEXT loop for the Find if you want.

HTH.
