SYMPTOMS
========

When you call the objSession.AddressBook method in the Microsoft Object Linking
and Embedding Messaging interface from a Microsoft Visual Basic (VB) 4.0 16 bit
extended Microsoft Electronic Forms Designer (EFD) 4.0 form, the address dialog
might appear in the background and not have the focus during runtime.


WORKAROUND
==========

The following code can be used as a workaround:

     Dim frmhwnd As Long
     frmhwnd = Me.hWnd
     Dim objrecipcoll As Object
     Set objrecipcoll=mfobj.Session.AddressBook(Title:="List of Addresses",_
         forceResolution:=True, recipLists:=1, toLabel:="&Names", _
         parentwindow:=frmhwnd)
