Please can anyone help?

Is there anyway to get access to the Desktop Outlook the same as within the outlook.dll. I have a outlookdesktop.dll but it just gives me a blank pimcollection using ("Contacts") when added as a component.

Thanks :confused: :sign0085:
 
You have been told already that OutlookDesktop is a "dummy" library
WITHOUT ANY FUNCTIONALITY
That means you CANNOT access DesktopOutlook the same way as the Outlook.dll
 
Thanks I got your last response and replied and thought I would put it in the right section as you advised for two reasons because 1. I did not fully understand your reply and 2. I would get more people able to help with desktop outlook access.

What is a dummy library and what is the point of a DLL without functionality (isnt that the point of libraries).

I am just trying to find a way to access outlook contacts .... first name, picture etc. from desk top outlook not pocket outlook.

:BangHead:

A dummy library is a dll which fills the need of the compiler, which works on the desktop only, to compile an application for the device. So you add it by "components" to the "desktop" libraries, but the functionality of the program is only defined by the device's library.
