Is there an API function that will retrieve the default email client. Thanks Paul

I had recently figured out how to access "Outlook" folders and database using ADO and the correct connectionstring. Unfortuneately, I can't seem to find any provisions on what the connectionstring is for "Outlook Express

I need to write an application that needs to read the address book for all versions of Outlook and Outlook Express. Is there a standard library for VB6 that will allow me to do this?
