Account Object
The Account object represents the relationship with a business or organization. If a service is being provided, such as dental or medical services, then an Account can also be a customer.
Version Information
Outlook 2007
Requirements
Business Contact Manager for Outlook
Remarks
Account records centralize information about business Accounts. You can add one or more Business Contact, Opportunity, Business Project, or communication history items—Appointment, Business Note, E-Mail Message, File, Phone Log, and Task—to an Account record. Adding communication history items gives you a better understanding of Account activity.
By using the Outlook object model, you can programmatically:
- Create a new Account.
- Select an existing Account.
- Edit Account properties.
- Delete an Account.
The Accounts folder contains Account records.
Example
The following C# and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) examples show how to create a new object instance of type IPM.Contact.BCM.Account.
[C#]
Outlook.ContactItem newAccount = (Outlook.ContactItem)accounts.Items.Add("IPM.Contact.BCM.Account");
