Delete an outlook contact using an Excel macro
I have an excel spreadsheet that we keep our contacts in. Occasionally, we
need to replace one. When this happens, we just run a macro and it creates the new contact in Outlook. Thanks to Gram Mayors template on this. But, now we must go to Outlook and delete the old one. Not a problem for most people, however, most of my co-workers are soon to be "Darwin Award Winners." So, I've been tasked with developing a macro that will also delete the old contact and create the new contact. As I said, I've got the code for the new contact, but any ideas on how to delete a contact from Excel would be welcomed. Thanks in advance for any help! |

Delete an outlook contact using an Excel macro
Bernie: Thanks for the help. However, the code did not function. I get a
funny error: Run-Time Error -2147221233 (8004010f)': when the code reaches this line: If myNS.AddressLists("Contacts").AddressEntries(ConNa me).Name = ConName Then Another wrinkle is that I get a message saying that another program is trying to access Outlook and ask permission to allow this. I check Ok and the program still fails. Any ideas??
