    Can you 'find' a contact from code in outlook - Resolved

    I'm writing an app that will populate contacts from a database into outlook. I've stored the contact reference from the database in the customerID field of the contact in outlook (I chose the customerID field arbitrarily if anyone knows a better one which isn't visible to the user, please let me know)

    I now want to be able to find a given contact in outlook from the db reference. Is there a simple way of doing this?

    If there's not an outlook API call I could write a recursive algorithm that searched through the contacts folder and sub folders checking the customerID field of each contact it finds but I suspect that might be a little on the slow side. Any better suggestions?
