A client of mine currently has an Outlook form for keeping track of interactions with their clients. This essentially adds a second page to a calendar entry. They want to add a field that would behave similarly to the "to" field in most e-mail messages. I was able to successfully create this field in the form, the problem I had though was accessing it in a custom view: it just didn't show up as an option. I'm thinking a better way to do this is to create a very simple add-in that does more or less the same thing. Does anyone know how to easily access the address book from the add-in code? Is there a control, by any chance that will do it?

Or rather, does anyone have any experience using the Outlook form method?

I'm sure this is clear as mud, I'm more than happy to clarify if need be.

Thanks, Chris
