Sub DisplayMyContacts() 
 
 Dim myFolder As Folder 
 
 Dim myItems As Items 
 
 Dim myRestrictItems As Items 
 
 Dim answer As String 
 
 Dim filter As String 
 
 Dim myInspector As Inspector 
 
 Dim x As Integer 
 
 
 
 answer = InputBox("Enter the company name") 
 
 Set myFolder = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI") _ 
 
 .GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts) 
 
 filter = "[MessageClass] = 'IPM.Contact' AND [CompanyName] = '" & answer & "'" 
 
 
 
 Set myItems = myFolder.Items 
 
 Set myRestrictItems = myItems.Restrict(filter) 
 
 For x = 1 To myRestrictItems.Count 
 
 Set myInspector = Application.Inspectors.Add(myRestrictItems.Item(x)) 
 
 myInspector.Display 
 
 Next x 
 
End Sub
