I don't think there is much you can do unless you explicitly find the
corresponding contact in the Contacts folder and read the e-mail address
(ContactItem.Email1Address).
To see whether a recipient was resolved, call Recipient.Resolve or
Recipients.ResolveAll; both will return a boolean indicating success or
failure.

Thanx Dimity

I was afraid of that. Well what about this?

I gather the name to be resolved via Word automation from an email
"coversheet" so to speak. If the client approves, he/she will print and
sign and fax back to me. Multiple email recipients could be resolved from
one line of text. Is there a way to code around multiple address book name
choices? Possibly to search for the email type = "SMTP" as a way of
choosing or at least narrowing the possibilities? Am I going about this
wrongly or can is there a better approach?

As a side thought, how do I determine (codewise) if the name has or has
not been resolved?

Regards
Dale

This is absolutely normal - OAB exposes each of Email1, Email2, Email3
and FAX addresses as a separate entry.
When you type the name of the address, OAB has no idea which address
exactly you want to use - they both are valid.
If you know the SMTP address, use it instead of thee contact name - it
can always be resolved to a one-off entry.

Question #1 answer. I guess so, if I go to the contacts folder and
right click on it, then select properties, under the Outlook Address
Book tab, the name of the address book is "Contacts". Hope that answers
your question.

Question #2

I think the control K action may indicate something. I get 2 entries.
The email address and also the Business fax such as this:

Name Email Type
Dale Jones SMTP
Dale Jones (Business Fax) FAX

What I can't figure out is there is only one contact in the address
book. I do have a Fax phone number typed in for that person however.

What's going on?

Regards
Dale

Does the contact in question reside in a contacts folder visible in the
Outlook Address Book?
Is there a chance that you have duplicate/ambiguous contacts? What
happens when you hit Ctrl+K after you type the name of the contact in
question in the To edit box in Outlook?

All

I have a VBA module I copied from the internet and modified it to do
what I needed. Sorry, I don't remember who provided it (but thanks
whoever you were).

Anyway, here is the bit that seems to be causing some trouble.

For Each objOutlookRecip In .Recipients
objOutlookRecip.Resolve
Next


This code seems to be kind of hit and miss. When it works - it works
well.

But, certain contacts, which I know I have in my address book, will
not resolve. In the "To" field of the email, I get a red underline.
In my reading, I believe that meant the name was not in the address
book. I've double and triple checked spelling but I can't seem to make
it work.

Does anyone have a clue what might be causing this situation?

Thanx in advance
Dale
