InfoPath Dev

Hi,

I want to connect the adressbok from Outlook to my Infopath form, to a button. How can I do that??

Can anyone help me? please.

This is a fairly common request but is outside the standard features of InfoPath.

It requires code to connect to the addressbook and then the form has to be full trust, meaning it has to be manually installed for every user so that it has the security to connect.

A better practice is to access Active Directory, this can be done codeless with a webservice, and will give you more information such as manager, or address, etc as long as that is in your Active Directory.

InfoPath 2007 includes the Contact Selector control. Here's a link to more info: http://blogs.msdn.com/infopath/archive/2006/06/19/open-your-rolodex-from-infopath-using-the-contact-selector.aspx

Hi, try

 Here's the code I used:

function addEmailFromGAL(Item)

{

     g_oMapiSession = new ActiveXObject("MAPI.Session");

      var oRecipients = null;     
      g_oMapiSession.Logon("Default Outlook Profile","",true);      
      try {      
		var oTestMessage=g_oMapiSession.Outbox.Messages.Add();		
		oRecipients=g_oMapiSession.AddressBook(oTestMessage.Recipients, "MY Adress Book", true, true, 1, "Choose");     
		var localEmail = "";         
		try {
			localEmail = oRecipients.item(1).AddressEntry.Fields(0x39FE001E);
		}
		catch(error) {
			localEmail = oRecipients.item(1).AddressEntry.Address;
		}
		//XDocument.UI.Alert(localEmail);	  
      	Item.selectSingleNode("my:personResponsible").text = localEmail;    
      }
      catch(overallerror) {
		XDocument.UI.Alert("You canceled !");
      }
      g_oMapiSession.Logoff();  
}

 Where do i insert this code to?

I tried to apply this code.

However, I received the "[Collaboration Data Objects - [E_ACCESSDENIED(8007005)]]" error and I also see the same error on the link above. Unfortunately, I cannot see the solution under it.

Could you kindly help to resolve this error?

Thank you so much in advance,

Seth
