I want to iterate through my contacts and modify the City (and other
fields).

I have tried this...
Sub showEntryAttrib()
    Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set myNamespace = myOlApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
        For Each one In myNamespace.AddressLists
            Debug.Print one.Name
            For Each two In one.AddressEntries
                Debug.Print "   " + two.Address
                Debug.Print "   " + two.HomeAddressCity
            Next
        Next
        Set myOlApp = Nothing
        Set myNamespace = Nothing

End Sub
...
but it throws an error on HomeAddressCity, (two.address works)
I'm thinking I need to access the "Contacts" folder and then iterate
through contacts there, but the doc is thin....

As what have you declared "one" and "two"?

I didnt explicitly declare, by default 
one is a nameSpace
two is a addressList

This Microsoft Knowledge Base article includes an example of doing
this by accessing the Default Contacts folder:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;181202

----------------------------
Here is an example posted to a newsgroup:

    Dim olApp As New Application
    Dim MsgDataStore As NameSpace
    Dim MsgPersonalFolders As Folders
    Dim MsgContactFolder As MAPIFolder
    Dim itm As ContactItem
    Dim str As String

    Set MsgDataStore = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Set MsgPersonalFolders = MsgDataStore.Folders("Personal
Folders").Folders
    Set MsgContactFolder = MsgPersonalFolders("Contacts")
    For Each itm In MsgContactFolder.Items
        str = ""
        str = str & itm.FirstName & vbCrLf
        str = str & itm.LastName & vbCrLf
        str = str & itm.Email1Address & vbCrLf
        str = str & itm.HomeAddressCity & vbCrLf
        str = str & itm.HomeAddressState & vbCrLf
    Next itm

There are other examples, but this one seems clearest. As you can see,
you are right about accessing the Contacts folder.

Found an example, but I had to hack it to make it run.
