I wanted to create a group of contacts for different areas. For example, we have several systems and each system has a contact person(s). So I thought I would create a contact and link it to the internal person responsible (from the GAL). This means that I wouldn’t have to enter their details again.

Edited by HansV to move very long code to attachment.

Here is the final code that enables you to select names from an address list, and it puts into the ListView control all the names, addresses, etc…When it looks for the members of the Distribution List, it does not limit it to the Global Address Book, but searches every address list until it finds it.

Thank you to everyone who helped with this.

OldDog, can you find the Excel utility you wrote about, to bring back all the members of a Distribution List? I am having trouble finding it….

JohnBF pointed to this earlier in this thread. The code requires that you have the ContactItem selected. How do I find the Distribution List contact item? Do I have to search through every folder or AddressList to find it? or is there a quicker way.

Jscher, thank you so much! What a simple, and yet effective solution. You really are brilliant. This effectively addresses the limitation of only 255 characters from the GetAddress dialog box.

My last tricky question, is how do I return the names of all the people, if a distribution list is chosen from the GetAddress dialog box. I have been searching through the Outlook Object Model, and I can’t understand how to access the DistListItem. Any suggestions?

Yes, I installed an add-in yesterday. How do I remove it?

Do you know of any posts on this site that demonstrate tools that I can use to retrieve the address details, when I have the name?

Thank you very much for all your help.
