Returns or sets a String representing the address type (such as EX or SMTP) of the first e-mail entry for the contact. This is a free-form text field, but it must match the actual type of an existing e-mail transport. Read/write.
expression.Email1AddressType
expression Required. An expression that returns a ContactItem object.
This Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) example sets "SMTP" as the address type for the first e-mail entry of a contact.
Sub SetType()
Dim myOlApp As New Outlook.Application
Dim myItem As Outlook.ContactItem
Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set myItem = myOlApp.CreateItem(olContactItem)
myItem.Email1Address = "someone@example.com"
myItem.Email1AddressType = "SMTP"
myItem.Display
End Sub
If you use Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) in a Microsoft Outlook form, you do not create the Application object, and you cannot use named constants. This example shows how to perform the same task using VBScript code.
Set myItem = Application.CreateItem(2)
myItem.Email1Address = "someone@example.com"
myItem.Email1AddressType = "SMTP"
