Here is some sample code to export contacts to an XML file that then could be utilized as a datsource.http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=73

Another method would be to export contacts to Sharepoint and then access the information from a portal connection.

Hello

I think you cannot directly connect Outlook address book to Infopath. Create a Db out of the Address book and then try creating a Infopath Form with Db as Data Connection and then can show the Name into the Form fields.

2. Put the name chosen into one of the form fields

Thanks, Dave
