Hi all,
I am building a small app which retrieves the Contact's details
from Outlook. I need to sort the contacts according to the Categories that
they belong to (Unfiled,Business etc). I need to know the the property by
which i can do this ( eg..for Mobile Telephone Number field, the
corresponding property is MobileTelephoneNumber, for Mailing Address it is
MailingAddress etc). I am not able to find the corresponding property name
for the Categories field. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am not sure if this is the right place for this post. If it isnt, please
point me to the correct newsgroup.

TIA,
Mounil.

When in doubt, check the object browser: Press ALt+F11 to open the VBA environment in Outlook, then press F2. Switch from <All Libraries> to Outlook to browse all Outlook objects and their properties, methods, and events. Select any object or member, then press F1 to see its Help topic.

FYI, there is a newsgroup specifically for general Outlook programming issues "down the hall" at microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba or, via web interface, at http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public
.outlook.program_vba
