Thanks. I think I am close. Enabled the addin. It is called vonageComAddin.
In the object browser, the class is connect and there are integer and
variants listed as members. They look like phone number variables from
outlook contact list. I am not sure how to code a line to call the app.

would it be:

vonagecomaddin.connect.ctr =1234567890

i get a method or data member not found if I address this way or with the
tele num in quotes.

I'm not familiar with the program you're using, but here's what I would
do. Open VBA and insert a blank module. Then, go to the Tools menu, choose
References, and scroll through the list until you find something whose
name indicates that it is the dialer application. Check that option in the
References list. Then, use the Object Browser (F2) to see the various
objects, properties, and methods associated with that library. Then, use
trial and error (assuming no help file is available) to get it to work the
way you want.

The numbers are stored in a spreadsheet. The dialer is a custom vonage
application called click to call. I know that it is office compatible
because I can click on a contact in outlook and the number appears in my
autodialer, but it is a manual process. I am hoping to write an
application that will automate the process in Excel but don't know how
much control VB Excel has over other apps.

Not sure we understand, what external program do you want to control?
Where are the numbers located?

I would like to use my Vonage dialer to send messages to each recipient
in my
spreadsheet. Can someone please point me in the right direction to
manage
control of an external application that uses contact phone numbers in
outlook
to my phone list in Excel?? Much thanks.
