An urgent question with an easy answer i'm sure,

I am using the MAPI object to pop-up the Outlook Address Book and get the user to select a name from the address list... from there, i put the selected name in a text box that's disabled so the user cannot change it... my problem is that on the following ASP page, i would like to use the selected address as the CDONT NewMail.To property...

but there is a problem... the only thing being pasted in the text box is the -display name- from the address book and not the actual e-mail address of the person that was selected... something like MaxOvrdrv -SMSC, when what i need is something like this: MaxOvrdrv@Intranet.gc.ca

I have tried the following and only got some weird internal server mumbo jumbo...:

objMapi.Item.Address
objMapi.Item.AddressEntry.Address

all i could get from this was something like this:/o=-*BLOCKED 4 SECURITY*-/ou=LBP/cn=Recipients/cn=-*BLOCKED 4 SECURITY*-

is there a way to actually get the REAL e-mail address from the MAPI/Outlook address book??

Here's my code... thanks a lot to anyone who can help!!


Public Function GetAdd()

On Error Resume Next
    'Create session using CDO and call the AddressBook
    Set objSession = CreateObject("MAPI.Session")
    objSession.Logon , , False, False
    Set colCDORecips = objSession.AddressBook(, _
                                     "Pick Names", , , 1, _
                                     "Recipients")
   
               ' Retrieve the Recipient list and paste the first selected recipient in the text box
   
     
    if AccType.value="HRMS" then
         HRMSForm.recipHRMS.value=colCDORecips.Item(1)
    elseif AccType.value="IMS" then
         IMSForm.recipIMS.value=colCDORecips.Item(1)
    elseif AccType.value="SMS" then
         SMSForm.recipSMS.value=colCDORecips.Item(1)
    end if
   
     
    objSession.Logoff
   
End Function
