MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Forms / April 2007How do I pull active directory information into an outlook form?
I am trying to create a custom form for new tasks in Outlook 2003. I have created the form but I would like to pull information such as "requested by" from Active directory. I do not see a way to do this. The standard form does this so it must be possible. If what you're looking for is the current user's name, you can get that from Application.Session.CurrentUser.

Return the one you need and iterate its AddressList.AddressEntries collection.

Nevermind. I will just use another product. > All the address lists that the user can see are exposed in the Namespace.AddressLists collection.
