I think you're confusing PIM.Contact and PIM.Contacts. PIM.Contact is the interface to an individual contact whose path you have found by another means. GetContent returns all the fields for that contact. PIM.Contacts is the interface to the set of contacts, and has a Query method that allows complex searches to be performed. PIM.ContactQuery is the interface to the results from PIM.Contacts.Query. You probably want to use GetResult or GetMultipleResults to access the matching fields directly. I'm not sure where documentation for the query language is, but there have been a few examples on the list. _______________________________________________ Smartphones-userland mailing list Smartphones-userland@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/smartphones-userland
