Libraries such as Jacob really allow you to 'translate' the VBA code used to create macros into Java. So, first take a look here - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/aa210907%28v=office.11%29.aspx - and scroll down to the VBA example which looks like this;

Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set myItem = myOlApp.CreateItem(olContactItem)

This tells you that to crate a new contact, you need an object that refers to the Outlook application and then call the CreateItem() method on this object passing it the correct value to yield a new contact. This value is 2 I think but you can find out by digging around in the Oulook Object Model.

If I have the time, I will try to put together the Jacob code but cannot promise qwhen this will be.

Mark, although the offer is generous, please DontBeACodeMill. If you provide full answers, Imre will not learn a thing.

OK Rob, I understand. I only meant to infer that I would be testing my hypotheses to ensure it was correct. Not wishing to sound boastful, but it was and the simple example I was going to post was this;

public class OutlookTest {

private ActiveXComponent oleComponent = null;
private Dispatch activeDoc = null;

private final static String APP_ID = "Outlook.Application.12";

public OutlookTest(boolean visibility) {
//this.oleComponent = ActiveXComponent.connectToActiveInstance(OutlookTest.APP_ID);
this.oleComponent = new ActiveXComponent(OutlookTest.APP_ID);
//this.oleComponent.setProperty("Visible", new Variant(visibility));
}

public void createContact() {
Dispatch disp = null;
Variant var = null;
Object[] args = null;

args = new Object[]{2};
var = Dispatch.call(this.oleComponent, "CreateItem", args);
System.out.println(var);

disp = var.getDispatch();

Dispatch.put(disp, "FullName", "Contact's Full Name");
Dispatch.put(disp, "CompanyName", "Company Name.");
Dispatch.put(disp, "JobTitle", "The Boss");
// Show the contact for de-bugging purposes.
Dispatch.call(disp, "Display");
}

/**
* Called once processing has completed in order to close down the instance
* of Word.
*/
public void quit() {
Dispatch.call(this.oleComponent, "Quit");
this.oleComponent.safeRelease();
}
}

The other members, properties, etc of the ContactItem can be read from here - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff868407.aspx
