SYMPTOMS
If you attempt to use the PR_ENTRYID property for Outlook Contacts returned by IAdrBook::Address(), IAdrBook::OpenEntry() will fail with the error code MAPI_E_UNKNOWN_ENTRYID.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because the message store containing the contacts returned has not been opened.
RESOLUTION
There are two workarounds for this problem:
- Open the message store containing the contacts before calling IAdrBook::Address(). In the MORE INFORMATION section, if you move step #6 (open the default message store) before step #3 (opening the address book), then the problem will no longer occur.
- Create a message and add the recipients returned from the IAdrBook::Address() call to the message using these steps.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
The following code both reproduces the problem and demonstrates the workaround described in the Resolution section of this article.
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
- Create a Console Application containing a program with code shown in step 3.
- Add Mapi32.lib to the Object/Library modules text box in the Link tab of the Project Settings dialog box.
- Compile, link, and run the application. When prompted to choose recipients, be sure to select some recipients from your Outlook Address Book in order to reproduce the problem.
