Resolved How can I create a new member/contact in a certain group in Outlook using Applescript

[Rabb]

Hi,

In Outlook 2011, I would like to add a new member/contact in a certain group by using Applescript.

The code below works in entourage but not in Outlook 2011:

make new contact at group "MyGroup" with properties {«class emad»:{«class radd»:"the Email Address", name:"the Name"}}

Any idea, how can I add a new member/contact in a certain group using Applescript?

thx in adv.

This is what you're looking for:

make new contact with properties {first name:"test1", last name:"test2", email addresses:{{address:"work@mywork.com", type:work}, {address:"home@myhome.com", type:home}}}

Whoops, no, sorry, that's not quite what you wanted.

Dear 0d085d,

thank you for your reply.

But the code does not add a new contact to a certain group!


I would like to add a new entry in a certain group by using Applescript.

The contacts/Members of a group has only the properties name and address.

How's this?

tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
	set theGroup to group "MyGroup"
	set newAddress to {type:public group address, address:"test2@test.com", name:"Test2"}
	set (members of theGroup) to (members of theGroup) & {newAddress}
end tell
