How can I export my Outlook Contacts to a format that would look good on a Web page?
—Kirk Vigil
Kirk said he had tried to export to a comma-delimited file, then use that file with a spreadsheet control in a Web page. However, he found that approach impractical. I can think of several other approaches that he might explore:
Use Outlook Web Access (OWA) in Exchange 2000 Server. Exchange 2000 OWA automatically exposes contacts folders as Web pages.
Perform a merge to Microsoft Word. You can use a catalog or label layout, then save the results as an .html file.
Use Ivitar Software's ClipForm for Microsoft Outlook. This tool, which you can find at http://www.ivitar .com/clipform, can export Outlook data into a variety of formats, including HTML.
Write custom code to create a static .html file. For total control, you can use Outlook automation to loop through all the items in the Contacts folder and build an HTML page from scratch.
Write custom code to show the data dynamically. The CDOLive Web site (http://www.cdolive.com/owacontact .htm and http://www.cdolive.com/ customer info.htm) has samples of this server-side code for Exchange Server 5.x.
