place a call to contact name

[codefinger]

This works well:

SkypeCall = SkypeManager.PlaceCall(SkypeCommand)

....if the variable SkypeCommand is an unbroken string of numbers

But I am having some trouble if it is a name from the Skype Contact List...

If the string is "Johnny Smith" then Skype stops reading at Johnny and cannot recognize the name from the contact list. In fact, Skype will start dialing "johnny".   When I tried to surround Johnny Smith in quotes, Skype returned an "Unrecognized contact" error.

What's tripping me up?

Thanks!

You should use the Skype name (ID) and not the full name or display name. Correct Skype name cannot contain spaces.

But in my case, I am trying to place calls to a land line, assuming the other person is NOT a Skype user, therefore, no Skype ID.

Does that mean I have to use the number only?

Thanks!
