append adress book in outlook express

[immovfp]

I use VFP 6 and want to append
an address file directly in
OUTLOOK EXPRESS ADDRESS BOOK
(not Outlook but Outlook Express).

Thanks to anybody for any help.

Since Outlook Express isn't a COM server, the only way to do what you are suggesting, is to directly alter the data in the proprietary file format. While I believe various versions of OE files have been documented, I doubt there is any unified source of this information.

It might be easier to semi-automate it. OE allows the import of a number of address book formats (including a text file). Perhaps you can create a file that OE can then Import.

can you give more detail as to what you are trying to do.
are you trying to control outlook express through OLE? Attitude is Everything
