Default Obtaining Info From MS Outlook

Sprinks

With a name like that, you have to be a fire sprinkler guy. Check out this
page

That should give you the basics of working with contacts. Once you've read
it, come back with any questions and I can help you nail down the details.

I'm a project estimator who prepares schematic design construction
estimates in Excel. I keep a tabbed page called Notes where I record
lists of items to be clarified, subcontractors I've called requesting
pricing, etc.

Key contacts such as the architect, the mechanical, structural, and
civil engineers, I keep in Outlook, and I store the project number in
their Category section so that I can fairly quickly lookup any of the
phone numbers. But I'd like to go one step further. Does anyone
know how VB could use the project number from an Excel cell, and
retrieve the names and phone numbers of these consultants
automatically?

Thank you.
