I'm trying to create a button using VB.net that will open the Address Book of Outlook. What's the code to open Outlook and perform a macro key (CTRL+Shift+B).

What I have tried:

I only have the button to open outlook but not the Address Book:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16\OUTLOOK.exe")

NB: Your button to open Outlook will not work if the user has the 64-bit version of Office installed, or if they have installed the Office applications via Office365.

For example, my 32-bit version of Outlook is installed in:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\
