I am trying to edit Contacts in Outlook. This is so I can transfer numbers
from my address book which is an Excel spreadsheet to my mobile phone. I
came across the following snippet of code which enabled me to the contacts
at least list. I had to root around to discover CdoDefaultFolderContacts
(though it was guessable; how could I enumerate win32com.client.constants?).
I now want to work through the Contacts in Outlook patching in data from my
spreadsheet, and also making new contacts where there is an entry in my
spreadsheet which has not gone into Contacts already.
Where can I find the API? I downloaded OutlookSpy but it is not clear to me
that it can display the structure of the data, nor does it list methods for
objects (a Contact, a Folder of Contacts) that I had hoped.
TIA,
Bill
