Roady
My problem is with Outlook not Outlook Express. The Outlook in question is
accessing the (?) Active Directory for Contacts and when you do add accounts
(FOR OUTLOOK) the LDAP directories appear for selection. On my Machine they
do not. It would actually be quite convenient if I could read the contacts
Directory that appears in my Outlook NewsReader, (wow, it uses Outlook
express as a Newsreader - bad karma) which appears to be the Contacts
directory used by MSN, which might be the Active Directory but I have no
evidence other than guessing that it is the Active Directory.
on my father in Law's machine, his OUTLOOK is accessing a Contacts directory
that according to the wizard is the Active directory which I need to move
from his OLD laptop to the new one which also uses OUTLOOK not Outlook
Express.
I am trying to make sense of what he appears to do by default with what I
can't do on my machine which, in the long run, would actually be quite
useful.
Thanks
