Hi,

I have a need to programatically import outlook contacts into access, which I have done using the outlook objects. What I cannot work out though is how to exclude contacts marked as private from the import.

Any help gratefully received.

Regards,

Peter Clements
 
Welcome to the forum.

How are you importing? What version of office are you using? How do you expect to determine that a contact is marked private?
 
Hi,

Thanks for making contact.

The solution needs to work with office 2003, 2007 or 2010. I was hoping that a property 'private' might exist somewhere in the object model to reflect the fact that I have marked the contact as private using the outlook UI. I assume this information is held in the .pst file somewhere, but it does seem strange that it is not seemingly exposed.

Open up outlook, make a new contact and tell me which field has private in it? Or which field there do you want to check and say if this field = xy then it is private.
 
if you add a contact in outlook 2010, look on the toolbar - there is a section marked tags in which their is a private tag - I was looking to use this,
 
Thanks - I looked in the developer reference also & it's not there - can I send you a screen dump vai private email ?
 
What is a screen dump? If you mean a picture of your screen then you can attach images to your post.
