I'm essentially re-learning VB for the first time in 15 years to try and accomplish this task - I have a project to do for work which involves taking .doc files which contain hundreds and hundreds of names, addresses, e-mail addresses, and amounts they donated to the non-profit I work at, and inserting them into Outlook's contacts. I'm trying to piece together the bit I've figured out about Outlook/VB integration to do so, but unfortunately, most of the information I can find is the other way around - getting info FROM Outlook and inserting it elsewhere.
The doc file is essentially formatted like this:
FirstName LastName
423815 Central Park West
FirstNameLastName@Somthing.com
$3000.00
And repeat.
So for the email addresses, I obviously need to look for the @ and copy from the previous space or line break to the next - that's the theoretically easy part, along with the money donated, since I can similarly look for the $. The part that I forsee stumping me is, how to discern first and last name, and treat them accordingly, entering them into the right fields in Outlook? Same with the address.
I work for a somewhat large company.There are about 160 Windows XP Pro users. We are still using Microsoft Office 2000 for the most part.We have upgraded some users to Office 2003. We are not using Microsoft Exchange.I have to export every users' Outlook 2000 or Outlook 2003 Contacts into an Excel or CSV file every 6 months as a way of backing the Outlook Address Contacts.Currently I am doing this by physically going to every pc and manually exporting the contacts.This is a large pain.I am trying to find out if I can use or create a Visual Basic 2008 Express program or script that will export the contacts from Outlook and save it as an Excel or CSV file.The name of the file should be the same as the computers net name.It should be saved in the same location, on the network, each time.I am new to programming and new to VB 2008 Express.I do not know or have any code to start with.

I get an error. It's work fine, when outlook is not running.
I'm working on an application that takes certain outlook email messages, saved as text files, and loads data from them into a database. It would be better if I could read the messages from the inbox directly into my app without the user having to save them as text files. I've searched the web and every example I find is from 2003 or earlier and is using VB6. I'd like to read both Outlook and Outlook Express Inboxes. Can someone either provide me with the code to do this or a good "recent" link with a tutorial?

I have some users who uses Outlook 2007 and some users who uses Outlook 2000. The message files created from Outlook 2007 should be read in 2000. I have created a simple drag 'n' drop function in my application that copies files to a hidden folder. What I want to do is that when someone drags a mailitem from 2007 to my application, the mailitem should be converted to be readable in 2000.
I have managed part of the code, but it's not that good. I have the following: [Code] This makes the .msg file readable in 2000, but unfortunately it has a huge side effect: When someone opens it, it opens it as a new message that is ready to be sent, instead of a message that has been received/sent.
I have written an AddIn for Microsoft Office Outlook which uploads email to a sharepoint server. I want to save a text log of what has been uploaded. Where is the best place to save this data?

To create an appointment, send it as a meeting request and save it as an appointment on my calendar. However, I want to be able to save the GUID of the appointment so my sync routine doesn't recreate it (since I don't have the GUID saved.)
I have written a code in VB.NET using "Microsoft Outlook 11.0 Object Library" to create an appointment, task or contact in Outlook. Now the problem is once i create an appointment, task or contact from my VB.NET code and then if i open these item in outlook and modifies and save the content (like body of an appointment) then the lastmodification time of these item doesn't gets modified. It always shows the previous lastmodification time. This happens only for those item which got created from my VB.NET code.

I need a script to read the date, then make an appointment on my outlook calendar, using that date, time and term (TMC) as the meeting title. So it should make an appointment on 5/19/2012 at 1pm, called "TMC meeting"All appointments are 2 hours by default.I used The identifiers "*" and "<>" as an example, and can be changed to be whatever, what is important is that the meeting gets on my calendar with the correct title.

How can create a form with one button, to export my table to the tasks of Microsoft outlook?
Does anyone know if this is possible:
1. Create VB9 application that monitors an Outlook Inbox.
2. When an email from a particular recipient is received, open the attachment (Excel.xls)
3. When the attachment opens, a macro is executed and the sheet is re-formatted (have already coded this bit in VBA).
4. Save the re-formatted sheet, re-attach to an email and send.
As mentioned, I have already done 3 and I have done 4 in other applications. What I am unsure how to tackle are points 1 and 2.
Has anyone had any experience with something along these lines?
