OE and Outlook contact

[Don S.]

How does one share the same contact between OE and Outlook. It used to
work, and not it does not,

When I synch my Treo Win, only the Outlook contacts are transferred, but not
the OE>

What to do?

Thanks

Outlook hasn't shared OE contacts since version 2000 AFAIK, and then only
when Outlook 2000 was in IMO mode...(We are now on the third version since
2000....)

Hi

Well ...... here is my situation:

On my PC that runs the same OE as my lap top, (6.00.2900.5512 -- xpsp
080414-2105), when I click on Addresses in OE, then Tools, then I find,
Accounts, Options & Action, clicking on Option find a selection: a. Share
among MS Outlook and other Address book will be stored in MS Outlook and
b. Don't share.......

So my PC works and shares, and I can synch it with my Treo, but my laptop OE
will not synch the addresses from my Treo because (but will with Outlook):

On my laptop that runs the same OE version, clicking on Addressed in OE,
then Tools, I do not see Options, only Accounts, Action & Synchronize now.
Thus I cannot make the setting.

So for some reason I have a inconsistency in the same version of OE release.

Do I have some other setting set wrong?

Thanks

Don S.

As Gordon already pointed out, this feature has nothing to do with your
Outlook Express version and never did. The feature only existed if you were
using Outlook 98 or 2000 in IMO mode. Those and only those versions of
Outlook created a reg hack that would allow the Windows Address Book to use
the Outlook Contacts Folder as its data source.
Accordingly, your Outlook version is the only relevant information. Once you
examine that, you will understand why there is a difference between your
installations.

Hi Russ

Got the hack for the Registry and now the two are talking to each other.


Outlook 2002 does not support sharing with OE unless you hack the registry.
