Get Name from Alias in Global Address List

[davidmg1982]

Hi Everyone, Im currently using the following method to obtain the Alias out of the user name, and works very fast and accurate.

Public Function GetAliasFromName(sAddressEntry As String) As String


    With New Outlook.Application
        GetAliasFromName = .Session.AddressLists("Global Address List").AddressEntries(sAddressEntry).GetExchangeUser.Alias
    End With


End Function

The second function i found to do the opposite it keeps returning and incorrect result: [TABLE="width: 64"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="width: 64"]01_New Requests[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
