'How do I force Outlook VBA to use a specific address book?
I've written a script that forwards incoming emails to the right people based on the contents of an excel spreadsheet.
The problem is it that does this by putting the name of the addressee into the .To field of the message (ie John Smith - not [email protected]), and then looking up the actual address when I invoke the .Send method, Outlook seems to decide to sometimes look up the contacts email address via the "LinkedIn Social Connector".
How do I force it to look up the person's email address in the "Global Address List"?

Firstly, you can specify the right name resolution order in Outlook if you hit Ctrl+Shift+B, Tools | Options.
If you were using C++ or Delphi, you could use Extended MAPI: retrieve the GAL's IABContainer interface and apply PR_ANR restriction.
If you using Redemption (I am its author) is an option, you can use RDOSession.AddressBook.GAL to retrieve the GAL container, then use RDOAddressList.ResolveName to resolve against that particular container only.
