Hi, I know how to update the contacts folder entries by writing Add-in or VBA

macro but I am looking for writing independent application so that user just

need to run it to update all Contacts folder entries.

I am not sure whether Outlook allows reading Contacts folder using such

application but I would be happy if there is any possibility.

Thanks,

Paresh
 
You can access Outlook data from a standalone program, of course. Depending

on the Outlook version, how you write the code, what language and what API

you use you might get security prompts, but that can be avoided.

Thanks Ken. I have written simple program to store new contact. I stored it

as .VBS file. But when I run, it doesn't create the contact. Could you please

let me know what could be wrong in below code:

Dim newContact' As contactItem

Dim olkApp

Const olFolderContacts = 10

Const olContactItem = 2

Set olkApp = CreateObject("outlook.application")

Set newContact =

olkapp.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts).Items.Add(olContactItem)

newContact.FullName = "XYZ"

newContact.BusinessTelephoneNumber = "74000"

newContact.Save

Thanks.
