Seehttp://www.outlookcode.com/article.aspx?ID=52for your options with regard to the "object model guard" security in Outlook 2000 SP2 and later versions. Rewriting the code as an Outlook VBA routine, upgrading to Outlook 2007, and rewriting to use Redemption would all be viable solutions.

I got it to work by simple changing the code to :

Option Explicit

Sub Import_Contacts()
Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim olNamespace As Outlook.Namespace
Dim olFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim olColItems As Outlook.Items
Dim olItem As Object
Dim strDummy As String
Dim wbBook As Workbook
Dim wsSheet As Worksheet
Dim i As Long

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

'Instantiate the MS Outlook objects.
Set olApp = Outlook.Application
Set olNamespace = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set olFolder = olNamespace.PickFolder

If olFolder Is Nothing Then
GoTo ExitSub
ElseIf olFolder.DefaultItemType olContactItem Then
MsgBox "The selected folder does not contain contacts.",
vbOKOnly
GoTo ExitSub
ElseIf olFolder.Items.Count = 0 Then
MsgBox "No contacts to import.", vbOKOnly
GoTo ExitSub
End If

Set wbBook = ThisWorkbook
Set wsSheet = wbBook.Worksheets(1)

'Prepare the targeting worksheet.
With wsSheet
.Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Clear
.Cells(1, 1).Value = "Utility"
.Cells(1, 2).Value = "City, State"
.Cells(1, 3).Value = "Main Contact"
.Cells(1, 4).Value = "City"
.Cells(1, 5).Value = "Contact person"
.Cells(1, 6).Value = "E-mail"
With Range("A1:F1")
.Font.Bold = True
.Font.ColorIndex = 10
.Font.Size = 11
End With
End With

Set olColItems = olFolder.Items

'Iterate the collection of contact items.
i = 2
For Each olItem In olColItems
If TypeName(olItem) = "ContactItem" Then
With olItem
If InStr(olItem.FileAs, strDummy) 0 Then
Cells(i, 1).Value = .UserProperties("Utility")
Cells(i, 2).Value = .UserProperties("CityState")
Cells(i, 3).Value = .UserProperties("MainContact")
Cells(i, 4).Value = .BusinessAddressCity
Cells(i, 5).Value = .FullName
Cells(i, 6).Value = .Email1Address

Else
Cells(i, 1).Value = .FullName
Cells(i, 2).Value = .HomeAddressStreet
Cells(i, 3).Value = .HomeAddressPostalCode
Cells(i, 4).Value = .HomeAddressCity
Cells(i, 5).Value = .FullName
Cells(i, 6).Value = .Email1Address
End If
End With
i = i + 1
End If

Next olItem

With wsSheet
'Sort the list.
.Range("A2", Cells(2, 6).End(xlDown)).Sort Key1:=Range("A2"), _
Order1:=xlAscending
.Range("A:F").EntireColumn.AutoFit
End With

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

MsgBox "The list has successfully been updated!", vbInformation

ExitSub:
Set olItem = Nothing
Set olColItems = Nothing
Set olFolder = Nothing
Set olNamespace = Nothing
Set olApp = Nothing
End Sub

However now I get the following message when I run the code:
"a program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in
outlook. do you want to allow this"

And I have to click yes for every single contact in my address book.
Can I stop this error message from appearing?- Hide quoted text -

- Show quoted text -

so can you tell me what these fields are named in outlook because
when
I add them to the code i get a debug error

It's the Notes field and the Categories field. The following doesn't
work.


Cells(i, 28).Value = .Notes
Cells(i, 29).Value = .Categories


Oh also i'm getting the debug error on the Contacts field too. These
are all the default outlook fields but they're not being recognized
in
the code. I get this debug error "Run-time error '438': Object
doesn't
support this property or method.


Also all my dates fields with no dates, which say "None" by default in
the outlook form are being
imported into excel as 1/1/4501. How do I get excel to just leave it
blank?
