This is odd.

Programatically I've figured out how to add contacts to the contacts folder.

I' ve figured out how to add a sub-folder withing the vontacts folder.

I moved contacts from the root folder to the new sub-folder.

Now the problem.

When I go into Outlook and create a new email message, I cannot figure out how to access the new contacts sub-folder to select email addresses.

Obviously I'm not an Outlook guru or user.

Thanks in advance help.
 
MyerK, thanks for sharing.
Can you please explain the members how you solved your issue ?
 
This wasn't a programming issue.

If the user goes to File, Folders, Properties there's a property that when checked allows the folder to appear in the address book.

Now of course I would like to be able to set this programatically.

I'm using Outlook 2000. From what I've been able to find out, there's a property in Outlook 2002 'ShowasOutlookAB'.
This looks like what I'm trying to do but it claims to be new in 2002.

Any ideas for Outlook 2000?
