Address Book

Hy.
 I want to know how i can read the Address Book (how i can get all the Contacts and
all the groups).
 And, has the Address Book the same structure under 98 and NT/2000.
 Because, under 98 all the Contacts are shown to all the user(all the
identities in the Outlook) and are the same for Outlook Express and Outlook
2000. Under Win 2000 there are some groups(?) for every user(identitie) in
Express and the Contacts in Express are not shown in Outlook 2000.
(is this done with the help of Groups)??
 
 Please help.

 Thanks, but it's not quite what i'm looking for.
 That is Outlook 2000 Automation (i used it) but indeed it works only for O2000
not for Express(or let's say better i can'tmake it to work under Win2000
- i don't know how to extract all those Groups and the Contacts for every group)
 I am interested, maybe, in how to read the wab format and how to obtain the informations
i mentioned above.(and if there is any code i would like it in C++/VC++).

 Thanks.

I have wrote a prog to synchronize the address book of Outlook98/2000 and Outlook express.
I used MAPI to access the Outlook98/2000 address book, and
used the API of WAB32.dll to access the Outlook express address book.

I do it well.
if you think I can help, please tell me.

 Hello.
 Can anyone tell me where i can find the format of the WAB  file?
Reading the WAB file is not the way to do this.  To REPEAT my comment which you conveniently IGNORED!


You want to use MAPI for this.  See:

http://codeguru.earthweb.com/internet/simple_mapi.shtml

for a example project that will help you get started.
Of course, It's can work under win9x/win2000/winnnt
