When you export contacts from Outlook to a file, only the text information of the contacts can be exported. But, sometimes, you need the photos to be exported as well as the contacts’ text information, how could you deal with this task in Outlook?
Export contacts’ information with relative photos by using VBA code
The below VBA code can help you to export all contacts in a specific contact folder to separate text file with photos. Please do as this:
1. Select a contact folder which you want to export the contacts with photos.
2. And then, hold down the ALT + F11 keys to open the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window.
3. Then, click Insert > Module, copy and paste below code into the opened blank module, see screenshot:
VBA code: export contacts’ information with photos:
Sub BatchExportContactPhotosandInformation()
Dim xContactItems As Outlook.Items
Dim xItem As Object
Dim xContactItem As ContactItem
Dim xContactInfo As String
Dim xShell As Object
Dim xFSO As Scripting.FileSystemObject
Dim xTextFile As Scripting.TextStream
Dim xAttachments As Attachments
Dim xAttachment As Attachment
Dim xSavePath, xEmailAddress As String
Dim xFolder As Outlook.Folder
On Error Resume Next
Set xFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set xShell = CreateObject("Shell.application").BrowseforFolder(0, "Select a Folder", 0, 16)
If xShell Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
xSavePath = xShell.Items.Item.Path & "\"
If Outlook.Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder.DefaultItemType <> olContactItem Then
Set xFolder = Outlook.Application.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts)
Else
Set xFolder = Outlook.Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder
End If
Set xContactItems = xFolder.Items
For i = xContactItems.Count To 1 Step -1
Set xItem = xContactItems.Item(i)
If xItem.Class = olContact Then
Set xContactItem = xItem
With xContactItem
xEmailAddress = .Email1Address
If Len(Trim(.Email2Address)) <> 0 Then
xEmailAddress = xEmailAddress & ";" & .Email2Address
End If
If Len(Trim(.Email3Address)) <> 0 Then
xEmailAddress = xEmailAddress & ";" & .Email3Address
End If
xContactInfo = "Name: " & .FullName & vbCrLf & "Email: " & _
xEmailAddress & vbCrLf & "Company: " & .CompanyName & _
vbCrLf & "Department: " & .Department & _
vbCrLf & "Job Title: " & .JobTitle & _
vbCrLf & "IM: " & .IMAddress & _
vbCrLf & "Business Phone: " & .BusinessTelephoneNumber & _
vbCrLf & "Home Phone: " & .HomeTelephoneNumber & _
vbCrLf & "BusinessFax Phone: " & .BusinessFaxNumber & _
vbCrLf & "Mobile Phone: " & .MobileTelephoneNumber & _
vbCrLf & "Business Address: " & .BusinessAddress
Set xTextFile = xFSO.CreateTextFile(xSavePath & .FullName & ".txt", True)
xTextFile.WriteLine xContactInfo
If .Attachments.Count > 0 Then
Set xAttachments = .Attachments
For Each xAttachment In xAttachments
If InStr(LCase(xAttachment.FileName), "contactpicture.jpg") > 0 Then
xAttachment.SaveAsFile (xSavePath & .FullName & ".jpg")
End If
Next
End If
End With
End If
Next i
End Sub
4. After pasting the code into the module, go on clicking Tools > References in the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window, in the popped out References-Project1 dialog box, check Microsoft Scripting Runtime option from the Available References list box, see screenshot:
