Delete Outlook Contact
Question:
Using the CreateDistributionList function off of the Tech DataBase area, and tying it to our A/D, I'm able to build DistLists of our user community. The problem is that the function creates a contact to add it to the DistList and I don't know how to delete the user once it's added.Answer:
If your Outlook client has TOOLS/RECORD A MACRO menus, then record a macro of deleting a contact, then EDIT the macro and translate it to WinBatch.Note: Some version of Outlook will let you run macros, but not record them.
Here is some UNDEBUGGED code that should help get you started...
searchname = "Deana Dahley"
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Connect to Outlook contacts folders and search
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
olFolderContacts = 10
objOutlook = ObjectOpen("Outlook.application")
objNameSpace = objOutlook.GetNameSpace("MAPI")
objFolder = objNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts)
objContactItems = objFolder.Items
Count = objContactItems.count
flag = 0
data = ""
; Scan through all contacts
For xx = 1 to count
objContact = objContactItems.item(xx)
ErrorMode(@off)
name=objContact.FullName
ErrorMode(@cancel)
if name == 0 ||Strtrim(name)=="" then Continue
if Strlower(name)==Strlower(searchname)
if AskYesNo(StrCat('Contact found: ',name), 'Press "YES" to Delete')
objContact.Delete
endif
endif
ObjectClose(objContact)
Next
; Clean up
ObjectClose(objContactItems)
ObjectClose(objFolder)
ObjectClose(objNameSpace)
ObjectClose(objOutlook)
exit
