I'm trying to write some code that will allow my application users to link to
their Outlook contacts list.

I have figured out how to link to this list using the External Data - Import
- Outlook Folder, but cannot seem to figure out how to do this
programmatically. I've tried using the Transferdatabase method, but that
doesn't seem to have an appropriate database type.

I'm sure I can probably do this by using the CreateTableDef method, but need
to know the connection string. Anyone have the specifics for this?

When I look at the connection string in mSysObjects, it lists a Mailbox and
a profile, which are identical, in a format similar to :

LastName, FirstName MI Mr CTR xxx yyyyy

Could I use the Windows userid instead of this value? Is there anyway to
query Outlook to get this value based on the windows userid? Any help would
be greatly appreciated.
