Hi !
Could somebody help me how can I import email addresses from Windows Address Bok (wab) file programatically ?
The simplest code would be the best one, as I was able to found several but far too hard code to understand the hole issue.
Many many thanks for anybody concrete help.

Try this this really good :)

}Hi !
Many thanks, but this one I had found few weeks ago at Code project, and the trouble is that after it was able to compile, it runs perfectly, but as soon as I close the application it generates error.
I am 100% sure that it has bugs with freeing memory, but I wasnt able to find it.
Could you help me to compile and locate the problem ?
I had really tried all other possibilities and I got lost.
I had attached the complete project ZIPed for BCB, which I had been cleared and organised, so it run and compile perfectly, but this bloody memory issue.
Many thanks in advance,
Moore
I had the same problem with the code. I replaced the memory management calls with more appropriate ones (I guess they are ...)
>>>>>>>>>
// Add the information to the vector variable
if (!thisAddr.EmailAddr.empty())
this->AddrMemBook.push_back(thisAddr);
// lpWABObject->FreeBuffer(lpRow);
} // End of cycling through rows
// the destroys an SRowSet structure and frees associated memory i.e. all the rows
FreeProws(lpRowSet); // ##############
// lpWABObject->FreeBuffer(lpRowSet);
if (lpABContainer != NULL) // ############
lpABContainer->Release();
} // if (ulObjType == MAPI_ABCONT)
<<<<<<<<<<<
... also release the interface ...
and released passed interfaces in the destructor
>>>>>>>>>>>
CWinAddrBook::~CWinAddrBook(void)
{
// Free the library we use to get the WAB file
// Causes execption when freeing the library
// Look for using DLLs in AX Components !!!
this->lpAddrBook->Release(); // +++++++++++++++++++
this->lpWABObject->Release(); // ++++++++++++++++++
if (hModule != NULL)
FreeLibrary(hModule);
IsInit = false;
}

I hope thad you have already fixed minor bug with 'Growing the vector'
which caused empty entries in the vector ...
and either commented it out or even added
AddrMemBook.clear();
Myself, I created an ActiveX Dll and used this code in it without any problem ( ... so far ) ...
... hope it helps

Hi !
Extremely thanks for your post, as I got lost completely. Could you do me a big big favour and post the complete BCB code zipped or send it to my email please : coolice@freemail.hu
Many many thanks in advance,
Moore
Hello.
Please, say, how can I obtain a contact's Birthdate? The standart export from Addres Book does not export it.
If I'm writing a code, there is a property PR_BIRTHDATE.
How do I convert it to the text string and write anywhere, like
Edit3.Text = lpProp->Value.(something here) ?;
Besides, why does MSDN say "Do not use" about all that WAB stuff like WABOpen()?
