Sending a Contact via Bluetooth

[Guest]

Ok, I'm only guessing that this is supposed to work. When in Outlook and I
have a contact highlighted and then click on File, Send to Bluetooth; Outlook
dosen't seem to be able to "see" my bluetooth cell phone. Can this be made
to work or does it require additional software?

Does your PC have a bluetooth connector?

Milly,

Yes, I just purchased one got it installed and it seems to work fine. (i.e.
the host PC and cell phone "see" each other) I'm just clueless on how to
proceed from there.

The sync software that came with your phone should be able to pull data from
Outlook via Bluetooth.

Did you ever get an answer? I have the same problem with my bluetooth
connection. When I first set up my bluetooth device, I finally got it to
work and was able to send contacts and calendar events from my desktop PC to
my cell phone. After removing the device from the USB slot and later
reinserting it, I have lost that capability. On the PC's Bluetooth Places
I'm showing my cell phone but when I select "Send to bluetooth" in Outlook,
the arrow doesn't point to the cell phone like it used to.

Could someone please answer this post if they know anything about solving
this problem - i have tried endlessly to get it working again without luck.

Thanks
