I tried your suggestion, but this time it says "Error Type: com_error, Error Value: (-2146959355, 'Error en la ejecuci\xf3n de servidor', None, None)" (in English it would be something like "Error executing server"). The traceback is the same as before. Igor

Try this: # Create instance of Outlook pythoncom.CoInitialize() ### Added o = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application")

Hi all!

I need to obtain someone's e-mail address from Outlook's default address book. I found a piece of python code in the internet which I modified, and it now looks like this:

import codecs, win32com.client

def obtainaddress(name): # Create instance of Outlook o = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application") mapi = o.GetNamespace("MAPI") folder = mapi.GetDefaultFolder(win32com.client.constants.olFolderContacts) print folder.Item("Igor Leturia").Address o = None

obtainaddress('Igor')

The code needs win32com, so I installed ActivePython and copied the win32com folder to Zope's lib. I tested the code in Zope's python and it works.

But as I need to access it from Zope, I included the function in one of the Zope source modules (User.py to be precise). And when I call it from DTML, it gives me an error:

Error Type: com_error Error Value: (-2147221008, 'CoInitialize not called.', None, None)

I've put some traces and I know the error is in the first line, o = win32com.client.Dispatch("Outlook.Application").

Any ideas? Thanks in advance,

Igor Leturia

P.S.: Zope's traceback says:
