Hi All,

I'm actually automating emails from within Access but it is Outlook objects
I'm working with.

How, in code, do I get the dialog to display that appears when you click the
"To:" button in a new email? IE:

MyMail.recipients = ShowTheSelectNamesDialog()

where when "ShowTheSelectNamesDialog()" (a fictional function I made up)
executes, the code execution pauses until the user has selected the recips,
CC's etc (MyMail is a MailItem objectBTW) and the user's selection is
returned.

Anyone know what I'm on about?


Cheers,
Mr. Smith

What you want is the AddressBook dialog. Calling it from the Outlook object
model was only added in Outlook 2007 as the NameSpace.GetSelectNamesDialog()
method.

In versions of Outlook prior to Outlook 2007 you would have to use Extended
MAPI (C++ or Delphi only) CDO 1.21 (Session.AddressBook) or Redemption (3rd
party library at www.dimastr.com/redemption) to display that dialog.
