How are you creating the Contact?
Try:
Set myOlApp = CreateObject(Outlook.Application)
Set myItem = myOlApp.CreateItem(olContactItem)
or even:
Set myOlApp = CreateObject(Outlook.Application)
Set myNameSpace = myOlApp.GetNameSpace(MAPI)
Set myFolder = _
What applications?
My take is that Terminal Services works best for one server running one
application and accessed by many users. For the car rental application of
5,000 users all using one application - that is a good approach.
But for normal professional workers, who typically use 5 or 6

Where will you analyse the information? On the same PC or on another one?
If on another one, how will you transfer it?

How can you control the application?

Yes you can write code to get all your contacts [see below], but to get
