Make sure to set a reference to Outlook

Sub test()
Dim Exp As Explorer, Itm As Object
Set Exp = ActiveExplorer
On Error Resume Next
For Each Itm In Exp.Selection
  Debug.Print GetFromAddress(Itm)
Next
End Sub

Function GetFromAddress(objMsg)
  ' start CDO session
Dim objSession As Object
Dim strAddress As String
Dim strEntryID As String
Dim strStoreID As String
Dim objCDOMsg As Object

  Set objSession = CreateObject("MAPI.Session")
  objSession.Logon "", "", False, False

  ' pass message to CDO
  strEntryID = objMsg.EntryID
  strStoreID = objMsg.Parent.StoreID
  Set objCDOMsg = objSession.GetMessage(strEntryID, strStoreID)

  ' get sender address
  On Error Resume Next
  strAddress = objCDOMsg.Sender.Address
  If Err = &H80070005 Then
    'handle possible security patch error
    MsgBox "The Outlook E-mail and CDO Security Patches are " & _
           "apparently installed on this machine. " & _
           "You must response Yes to the prompt about " & _
           "accessing e-mail addresses if you want to " & _
           "get the From address.", vbExclamation, _
           "GetFromAddress"
  End If

  GetFromAddress = strAddress

  Set objCDOMsg = Nothing
  objSession.Logoff
  Set objSession = Nothing
End Function
