My COM addIn is being developed using VC++ 6, and it does not have its own
window. Nor does it add anything to the OutLook UI. Instead, it just needs
to a) do a little extra processing of contact data should any contact data
be added, removed or changed, and b) be able to programmatically add or edit
contact data. Therefore, I need to have Outlook notify my COM object that a
change event for a contact item has occured, and retrieve the changed data.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ted

Use MAPIFolder.Items.ItemChange/etc events, where MAPIFolder points to your
Contacts folder.
