Outlook automation

[JDMoore]

Hi all, I recently wrote some code for a company to import contacts into Outlook from an access database. This cannot be done via Import. My problem is that with the VBA code running at a stupidly slow speed through a macro I decided to use Visual C++ and automate Outlook. It runs much better but I have one problem, how do I add extra user properties to an outlook contact? The code in VBA is: Set Prop = c.UserProperties.Add("Yours", olText) How do you do it in C++ though? Any help appreciated. Cheers, James.
