Can anyone tell me where I can find out how to send e-mail using Visual Basic and Object API? I'm brand new to this type of programming. What I am trying to do is find an e-mail address for a person and then send that person an e-mail.

I also have a question about finding the correct match for a name. I have this code so far:

Set GWFoundAddresses = GWABEntries.Find
		("(Name contains """ & sFirstName &
		""")")

but what I'm trying to do is find the entry with both the FirstName and the LastName to match.

For starters take a look at the numerous (simple and complex) samples at http://developer.novell.com/support/sample.htm.

The filter syntax is shown in: http://developer.novell.com/ndk/doc/gwobjapi/gwobjenu/data/ht78bg9o.html.

Use filters like:

( MATCHES "John") ( CONTAINS "Smi*") ( MATCHES "John Smith") OR ( MATCHES "Smith, John")

Note: In large address collections, CONTAINS will be much slower than MATCHES. Use Chr(34) to represent the " in building filter expressions, such as: sFlt = "( MATCHES " + Chr(34) + sName + Chr(34) + ")"

This should help you.
