The FileAs field has like - Smith, David "Home" Dim fldrs As Outlook.MAPIFolder Dim SearchItem As Outlook.ContactItem ' this assignment doesn't work in VB as written, but I'm just trying to represent the string ' I'm searching for strSearch = "[FileAs] = "Smith, David "Home"" Set SearchItem = g_fldr.Items.Find(strSearch)

Re: Search for contact item with double quotes in Name "Dave Kane [MVP - Outlook]" <dkane[ at ]mvps.org> 5/9/2006 9:25:01 PM Create your search string like this, specifying the ASCII character for the double-quote and using a single-quote to delimit the value of the field you are searching on. strSearch = "[FileAs]='Smith, David " & Chr(34) & "Home" & Chr(34) & "'" "Dave" <KingOfTheBeach[ at ]community.nospam> wrote in message news:ego1dftcGHA.4892[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl...
