Outlook Contact {Address Selector} Property

Dear Most Excellent Creators of Microsoft Outlook, please make Outlook's Contact {Address Selector} property editable from code, and/or make it defaultable to "Home" instead of "Business".

 

I create custom software, using Outlook add-ins, and many of my clients work mainly with residential customers. They consistently enter the home address into the business address property. Using code, I can check the address, when the item is created, and warn them, but it would be super nice to then automatically switch the selected address from 'Business' to 'Home' as I programmatically move the business address into the home address.

 

As well, it would be great if I could set all contacts to default to "Home" in the {Address Selector} property. I've tried setting this property in a custom form, which does set in "Design" time but when ran the property is still set to "Business".

 

Please please please make this {Address Selector} property available in code.

 

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this request:)

    Or better yet, build this functionality right into Outlook.

     

    When the {Full Name} or {Company Name} properties change, on a new contact, adjust the {Address Selector} property automatically, like so;

     

    <<On-Prop-Change>>

    If Property = {Full Name} Then {Address Selector} = "Home"

    If Property = {Company Name} Then {Address Selector} = "Business"
