I need help populating a combo box with OutlookExpress email addresses

[RotorTorque]

I have written a VB 2005 application that needs to load a list of email addresses from a users OutlookExpress address book into a combo box. I was able to retrieve the email addresses from regular Outlook, but most of our users use Outlook express. How can I accomplish this?

Thanks in advance,

OE's default address book is the Windows Address book, which can be accessed without even using OE. It will have a .wab extension and is usually username.wab. It's location can vary somewhat depending on operating system & OE version. Hope that helps.

Thanks smah for your quick response.

Do you have any code samples I can use?

None whatsoever, that's out of my league. But I would expect that someone in one of the VB forums would be able to help.
