Address Book
Script help needed
Monday, January 10, 2005 by sranshaft | Discussion: DesktopX
This is put out to anyone that knows VB Script.
I started creating an address book in VB Script and have gotten good results but the thing is hard coded meaning I have to enter each entry by editing the script manually. What I would like it to do is to have an option of letting the user add entries via an input box (i've figured this part out), it would then save the entry and the user would then be able to search through, find the entry and display the info. Anyone have any ideas as to how to go about this? Would creating an object.persistentstorage be the most effiecient and easiest way to do this or is there a way of adding cases to a script? Say, the user inputs infomation and it saves as case x, user queries and calls case x, case x is displayed...
I think it would be a nice addition and something new to the library of objects. Also, if it could hook directly into the Windows Address Book this would be even better. I've found information on the API but have yet deciphered it completely.
Tiggz or Martin if you two aren't busy...something different perhaps to get started on
