"Contact" data in Outlook express

I would like to access the "contact" data in Outlook Express.
Which reference do I have to use ? (I was thinking at "Office").

Thanks
for any help

OE does not offer a COM automation model. There is no (official)
interface to OE.


I remember that some worms took the addresses out of OE's (which
is actually Windows', AFAIK) address book. Consequently, there must
be a way to do that.


May be, but he was talking about OE.

Hi
... my OE doesn't have its own address book.


Armin did you also see that he was less complaining the last times, that he
had missed post, can it be that Herfrieds hamster died?

My hamster is still alive :-), but I switch between OE and gnus more
often to avoid that I miss messages. BTW: That's not a Hamster
problem, but a gnus "problem".

I didn't know (or didn't have a closer look) that the "contact data" is the
same as the address book, so I thought it's OE specific data.

Hi Herfried,

I know it is gnus, however "Hamster died" sound cryptic for the ones who do
not know, you never saw I like that.

OE uses the wab, but its not specific to OE.

Here's some MSDN stuff on it:

Hi everybody, I am a XSLT beginner and the following problem really makes me crazy ! I have a main "contacts.xml" document which contains references to several contact data XML files. My aim is to process the contacts in a single-pass XSLT process. That is why the "document()" function is what I need. I call the "document()" XPath function from a "for-each" instruction.
