 Dim myFolder As Outlook.Folder 
 
 Dim myContactItem As Outlook.ContactItem 
 
 Dim strName As String 
 
 Dim strPath As String 
 
 Dim strPrompt As String 
 
 
 
 Set myNms = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI") 
 
 Set myFolder = myNms.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts) 
 
 strName = InputBox("Type the name of the contact: ") 
 
 Set myContactItem = myFolder.Items(strName) 
 
 If myContactItem.HasPicture = True Then 
 
 strPrompt = MsgBox("The contact already has a picture associated with it. Do you want to overwrite the existing picture?", vbYesNo) 
 
 If strPrompt = vbNo Then 
 
 Exit Sub 
 
 End If 
 
 End If 
 
 strPath = InputBox("Type the file name for the contact: ") 
 
 myContactItem.AddPicture (strPath) 
 
 myContactItem.Save
