Obtaining Address From ActiveX Control

[TKnight]

Hi, we use Groupwise as our e-mail server and I noticed earlier that there is an address book ActiveX control available for access. I've embedded one in a form and sure enough it pops up our GP address book. The problem is I can't work out how to get a selected address into a code variable or text box on the form. I have limited knowledge of activeX objects to say the least!

I've used the Calendar control and obtained the date simply by using Me.ActiveXName.Value. If I put the same code in the update event of the address book control it doesn't work. I'm assuming thats because there is more than one "value" that can be selected.

I found this help file but can't follow it through properly, it mentions Methods that I need to obtain the information but I can't get it to work.

Any help would be much appreciated,

thanks, Tom.

Hi Tom

Did you ever resolve this issue and if so, how?
I am trying to get an address into my database using the ActiveX Groupwise Address control but I cannot figure how to pull the selected email into the corresponding text box. (or any textbox for that matter)

Hi,

Yeah I cracked this one and use GW address book control in almost all my DB's now. Sorry about the late reply but i've been away from work for a bit. If you still need it get back to me and i'll sort you out some examples.

HTH,

Tom

Hi Tom

I have created a work around for the moment which does the job. Our company is moving over to Outlook in a couple of months so I have had to start re-writing the code ready for that. Swines.

Thanks anyway

Ah! Although it's a bit of a pain you'll be much better off eventually in Outlook. Our company ditched outlook for Groupwise cause it was cheaper but there is so much stuff missing in GW that I would use if we had outlook.

Glad you got it sorted.
