  This is no problem at all. here's an example (with swedish fhieldnames)
  
  
  OlFolders := OlApp.GetNamespace('MAPI').Folders;
  OlMapiFolder := OlFolders.Item('Public Folders');
  OlFolders := OlMapiFolder.Folders;
  OlMapiFolder := OlFolders.Item('Favorites');
  OlFolders := OlMapiFolder.Folders;
  OlMapiFolder := OlFolders.Item('MyPublicFolder');
  OlFolders := OlMapiFolder.Folders;
  OlMapiFolder := OlFolders.Item('MyPublicSubFolder');
  
  OlContact := OlMapiFolder.Items.Add('IPM.Contact.MyCustomForm');
  
  
  OlContact.FullName := Kontakt.Namn;
  OlContact.CompanyMainTelephoneNumber := Prospect.Telefonnr;
  OlContact.BusinessAddressCity := Prospect.Ort;
  OlContact.BusinessAddressCountry := Prospect.Landkod;
  OlContact.BusinessAddressPostalCode := Prospect.Postnr;
  OlContact.BusinessAddressState := Prospect.Delstat;
  OlContact.BusinessAddressStreet := Prospect.Adress;
  OlContact.BusinessFaxNumber := Prospect.Telefaxnr;
  ...and all other fields You want to populate
  
  OlContact.Display;
  
  Have Fun!

  Thanks Lars!
  
  Basically it works! Where would you integrate it into Navision that the synchronisation for new created contacts works bidirectionally also?

  You might take a look in versoin 3.60, codunit 5069 and the function RetrieveContact. There You can see how You can use the OlContactID, which is a unique identifier of a contact in Outlook. I think You have the same kind of identifiers on other types of Outlook items as well.
  
  If You store the ID in Navision You should be able to see which has been added in Outlook and import them to Navision.
  
  Good louck!
