Hi There,

I'm trying to get the primary e-mail of the current user, and I have code that works. The problem is, there are often multiple users in my organization with the same name, so it depending on their order in the address book, it will sometimes grab the wrong e-mail.

Code I'm using:

VBA Code:
Sub GetCurrentUsersEmailAddress()

    Dim OL, olAllUsers, oExchUser, oentry, myitem As Object
    Dim User, varActiveEmail As String

    Set OL = CreateObject("outlook.application")
    Set olAllUsers = OL.Session.AddressLists.Item("All Users").AddressEntries

    User = OL.Session.CurrentUser.Name

    Set oentry = olAllUsers.Item(User)

    Set oExchUser = oentry.GetExchangeUser()

    varActiveEmail = oExchUser.PrimarySmtpAddress

End Sub

Appreciate any help.
