What you're looking for can't be achieved in ASP... as ASP is server-side scripting. Meaning I could give you the readout for an address book on the server, but not on the client's computer.

You might be able to get the results you're looking for with Javascript or something similar but I'm not totally sure about that. I know you could use a Visual Basic application to do that but it wouldn't run in an internet browser.

Javascript can't do it either as it is designed to only interact with the DOM in the browser, it has no access to local file system or applications. So what you are left with is creating an activeX package which is simply a piece of custom code, probably written in VB, delivered through the browser and executed on the client. Because of the obvious security risks in allowing packages to come through your browser and execute in this way, it is often something that people turn off  when browsing the internet, but in a closed intranet environment it is more acceptable.
