Address Book Control?

jayanthv · External Since: Jul 06, 2005 Posts: 1

Can any one help me regarding Address Book Control ? - a
run-on-first-use control included with Outlook 2002 and 2003.

How to use this control in vbscript or javascript to open a local
Outlook Address Book ?

Do you have access to a Windows SharePoint Services site? (If not, you can use XSOLive.com. Login using visitor as the username and password.) Take a look at the HTML source for the page where users add a new user to the site -- it uses the Address Book Control

Yes, in our office we are using Sharepoint server, but in the code they
used a component names MsSvAbw.AddrBookWrapper (which will be available
only when sharepoint services are installed)

When i copied the HTML source of the function which is used to invoke
the local address book it is asking to install the Sharepoint services
in my system.

As we are using Javascript/Vbscript to invoke this Address book from a
local machine, it's checking the whether Sharpoint Services are
installed locally or not. If not then giving error message & it's not
working and also giving a message like this:

"To use this feature, you must have an Address Book compatible with
Windows SharePoint Services and you must have Internet Explorer 5.0 or
greater."

The same code worked in a system where Windows SharePoint Services are
installed.

Can u please suggest me how to solve this issue? As my clients won't
have Sharepoint services installed in their systems..

Thanks in advance...

MsSvAbw.AddrBookWrapper is the Address Book Control component from Outlook 2002/2003. (Windows SharePoint Services is a server application, not a client program, and doesn't install anything on the client itself.) Remember that the Address Book Control is a "run on first use" Outlook component, so the user may see a prompt for the installation source files if they don't have the Office 2003 LIS or access to a network Office installation point.

Dmitry Streblechenko,

Do you know if the same data is returned using SelectNamesDialog? From what
I can find it just returns Name. Is there way to bring the email address,
phone number, etc like MsSvAbw.AddrBookWrapper?
