created contact is seen in contacts folder but not in distribution list's member selection
hello,
i have used MAPI to create a contact using CreateMessage..it was successfully included under my contacts folder. when i use MAPI to include this new contact in a distribution list, it was successfully included as well. however, when i use Outlook, and then select any distribution list..and then choose "select members.." button..and then choose "Contacts" from "show names from the" drop down list, I can not see the contacts i have created using MAPI...what am i doing wrong here? thanks!  also, when i look at the properties of a contact created using Outlook and compare it to a contact created using MAPI, i can't see any difference that may point to the problem...i hope someone can help me with this...thanks!

The Outlook Address Book only shows contacts with resolved electronic addresses (email or fax). My guess is that whatever technique you're using (and "MAPI" covers a lot of different ones) is not actually resolving the addresses. If you open the contacts, you should be able to correct that.

Thanks! The email addresses are ok but I have found out that setting
the PropTag 0x81BD to 1 resolves the issue..I dont know what's with this PropTag but it seems to work I did not change anything exceptthis PropTag and the problem is solved! What is this PropTag anyway? Thanks! Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook] wrote: The Outlook Address Book only shows contacts with resolved electronic addresses (email or fax).

created contact is seen in contacts folder but not in distribution list's member selection
It's a MAPI property, not exposed in the Outlook object model, but accessible to lower-level programming libraries.
