Outlook Contacts "Dave" <KingOfTheBeach[ at ]community.nospam> 3/24/2006 10:26:19 PM I don't know if anyone has experienced issues like the one I've experienced, but with the advent of Outlook 2003, I have noticed that users have been creating contact folders all over the place in outlook. Because of this, I've had to write logic to recurse folders all over the place. Is there anyway to get a Contacts Folders collection that contains the folders that contain contacts in them ? or maybe somebody could help me with what they think is the best way to find a contact item when you really don't know where the contact object is ?
