I do not know about Access, but the code should work in VB.

Did you declare oOlNS as:
Set oOlNS = oOlApp.GetNameSpace("MAPI")

If not, then you will get the error you got as AddressLists is not a method of the Outlook Application object.

>When I try the line
> Set oOlAL = oOlNS.AddressLists("Global Address List")
>I get the error property not suported and I am wondering if it could be that the Address Lists can't be accessed this way through Access 97. Could this be it and if so is there another way to access them.
