Default Search for contact item with double quotes in Name

Thanks, this does work

Create your search string like this, specifying the ASCII character for

the
double-quote and using a single-quote to delimit the value of the field

you
are searching on.

strSearch = "[FileAs]='Smith, David " & Chr(34) & "Home" & Chr(34) & "'"

Is there any way to search for an Outlook contact item that has double
quotes in there Name/FileAs field ?

The FileAs field has like - Smith, David "Home"

Dim fldrs As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim SearchItem As Outlook.ContactItem

' this assignment doesn't work in VB as written, but I'm just trying

to
represent the string
' I'm searching for
strSearch = "[FileAs] = "Smith, David "Home""

Set SearchItem = g_fldr.Items.Find(strSearch)
