This code should do the trick (requires outlook to be installed). Just add a listbox to the form.

set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
set myNameSpace = myOlApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")

' attention here
strAddressBook = "Contacts"
set myAddressList = myNameSpace.AddressLists(strAdressBook)

set myAddressEntries = myAddressList.AddressEntries

for i = 2 to myAddressEntries.Count

List1.AddItem myAddressEntries.GetNext

next



At the line i noted with Attention, this will take the name of the addressbook you need. this could be:
Contacts
Personel Address book
Global Address Book
...???

This can only be when Outlook isn't installed (or isn't installed properly). Also note that this might have something to do with outlook security patch (if installed).

A bottomless pit, I'm sure it came with the place, who would dig one on purpose?

How about people with only outlook express using the WAB? Is there a way to use automation to extract info from the Windows Address Book?
