   When I cancel the address dialog, the function returns
SUCCESS_SUCCESS (0) and not MAPI_E_USER_ABORT (1) as the documentation
indicates it should. This is a REAL problems as I am using the return
value 1 to restore old setting and return value 0
to update and e-mail name and e-mail address. On cancel and return 0,
the fields are updated with NULL. I realize I can test for NULL and
restore but that causes an unwelcome response when the address/name are
deleted from the address book and OK is clicked returning NULL's and
result = 0.

I will make sure that the implementation of MAPIAddress in 5.0 returns
MAPI_E_USER_ABORT if the user cancels a dialog box as documented in the
specification.

I am not totally sure of what Robert means when he sais that an address/name is
deleted from the address book from the result of the cancel unless it is
something that his application does. I am going to have to investigate this
further.

Not much progress has been made, going to re-assign to nobody so that I am not 
sitting on these issues.  Will probably pick up again in a month or two if they 
are still open issues when I have time and I can actually make some progress 
first.
