Would anyone be able to help me with this issue? I'm making an App that looks in a GAL (global address list) in Outlook and finds the EX-user and stuff, I have that working and all but when I am getting the contacts/address entries from doing this: outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application") namespace = outlook.GetNamespace("MAPI") address_list = namespace.AddressLists.Item("Global Address List") gal = address_list.AddressEntries there are people who have the same Name and the same display name as others while being unique. when I need the EX-user I do gal.item("LastName, FirstName").GetExchangeUser(), but as there are some duplicates In gal with the same name it always returns first one. was wondering if any really smart person would know how I could detect duplicates, remove duplicates, and whatnot. I have a list of names to look at through the gal and what I thought I could do is find the contact by doing gal.item("LastName, FirstName") and getting the position of it and then moving to the next item until there is a different name. But idk how to get the position when I do .item("name"). Any help is appreciated, Marcus. Note: I would like to avoid the loop through gal as there are a lot of people in there. Continue reading...
