Note that there is a User dialogue that pops up (depending on your Outlok
service Pack) that will prompt the user with a dialogue letting them know
that the contacts list is being accessed. It is a Virus Protection thing so
there is no easy way around it.

The following KB articles may be useful references. The second relates to
Outlook and Access, however, it could easily be adapted to Excel.

I am using office 2000. Using VBA in Excel, would it be possible to return
to a variable a value of a field in Outlook Contacts? The contacts are in a
public folder on a shared drive. I would like to return multiple variables
in order to write the values to a from in Excel. If it is possible, I would
greatly appreciate an example. Thanks.
