When I click on the "To..." button in a new message in Outlook 2003, then the address book opens as a modal dialog to select some names. I want to do the same in a custom C++ MAPI form. I call pSession->OpenAddressBook and then LPADRBOOK->Address() to open the dialog. This works. Problem is, that after about ten seconds I receive a dialog "Server Busy" with the text "This action cannot be completed because the "Inbox - Microsoft Outlook" program is not responding. Choose "Switch To" and correct the problem." (see screenshot attached). This happens even when I don't do anything in the address book chooser dialog. I need a modal dialog there (same as in the new mail form). What might be wrong? If you've done this successfully yet: What parameters have you used in ADRPARM? Eric
Not tested yet, but it looks like the solution MS Support provided will be ok: see KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/248019/en-us A shame that I didn't find this article before. -> call the next line before calling pab->Address() AfxOleGetMessageFilter()->EnableNotRespondingDialog(FALSE); Eric
