Open Outlook Contact - TAPI
All, We have a 3Com NBX system in our office. I would like be able to open up a MS Outlook contact record (from a public folder) when the phone rings. 3Com provides a TAPI provider but I don't know where to really begin looking into TAPI. I spent some time searching google and came up with some good links. If anyone has some good links/books or pointer, please pass them along. I prefer VB.Net This open outlook contact is just a start. If and when I am sucessful, I will build upon it. I know there has to be something out there becasue I have seen a couple of CRM packages do it. Thanks, Brian |

Open Outlook Contact - TAPI
You should be able to just point Outlook at your TAPI line. Go to Contacts,
click on a party and select Action | Call Contact | New Call and then click "Dialing Options..." at the bottom. You should see all of your installed TAPI lines. Select the line corresponding to the 3COM NBX. -- Grant Schenck http://grantschenck.tripod.com/ "Brian P. Hammer" sd wrote in message ... All, We have a 3Com NBX system in our office.

Open Outlook Contact - TAPI
Grant,
Thanks for your reply. Got that portion. I am looking to write an app that will look at the incomming caller's number and find the outlook contact in any number of public folders. Once found, open the contact. The largest issue I am having is the way Outlook formats the number versus caller ID. Thanks, Brian "Grant Schenck" wrote in message ...

... The largest issue I am having is the way Outlook formats the number versus caller ID. Brian, for this you may want to to take a look at lineTranslateAddress(). Please see MSDN for details. Try it with TAPI Browser TB20 before starting to code anything yourself.
