Read Outlook address book ???

[gazolba]

I need to get peoples names and email addresses from the Outlook address book into a table in my Access program. How would I do that? Would I have to rely on Outlook being open?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Are you using MS Exchange,some other email backend, or a local Outlook address book?

How would I tell?
My company has many localities throughout Arizona and they are all in the same email system, I dont know if this means anything. As you can tell I know nothing about Outlook except how to use it.
When I click on Tools--Address Book I see the entries I need to capure to a table in Access.

If anyone knows how to do this, I would like to know as well. Outlook doesn't seem to like having an email sent to it from Access without an email address in the To field, and using a dummy entry seems to confuse users quite a bit
