OL Conn 2003: Contacts vs Notes PAB

[Bill Bailey]

Am using Outlook Connector 2003 in a Domino 6
environment. E-mail, Tasks and Calendar are functioning
very well. However, contacts which I create in
the "Domino Mailbox" folder using Outlook 2003 do NOT show
up in my Notes Personal Address Book (PAB), which Lotus
now calls "Contacts". Should this information be visible
in the PAB/Contacts viewer in the Notes Client?

Bill,
Thanks for the nice comments about the connector. Glad that you liked the
product.
And about the issue - Contacts not getting replicated to Lotus Notes PAB :
This is still not implemented. There is a tool called PABImport.exe with
which one can import Contacts from Notes PAB (one way). These Contacts in
Outlook reside locally.
Thanks

To add to the previous post, the PABImport tool is bundled with the
connector and can be found at c:\program files\Outlook Connector for Domino\

Please read the help for details on usage

Thanks

Balaji,

Thanks for the reference to the Help file. I had not even
seen it or viewed the contents of the "Outlook Connector"
folder that was created during the installation process.
(The Connector worked so well right out of the "box" that
I didn't need to!) The PAB Import feature should do the
trick for us. The only drawback is that if I ever have to
return to the Notes Client (let's hope that never happens
<grin>), I won't be able to view the information that I've
maintained in the Outlook Domino Mailbox folder. I don't
see this as a big deal, however.

And thanks for your prompt responses to my posts here. It
is great to know that when/if I have issues, someone from
MS will be trying to help me.
