Bind A MAPI session with Outlook from VB

I am attempting to query a Microsoft Outlook Global Address Book to obtain previously stored personal details into a Visual Basic 6 application but cannot establish a session connection or bind a “MAPI.Session” to Outlook. Have also tried early binding via the Outlook 9.0 library reference but in vain. Could someone shed some light or a ray of hope all I need to retrieve is Names, Adress, Telephone No. Email addrs and the like. Please assist
