If you look at Help->About on the machines where this works, I think you
will find Outlook 98/2000 installed.

After furious head scratching, Steve asked:
| Well - that certainly explains part of my problem - thanks.
|
| However, the owner of the pc claims they have been sharing the
| contact list until a recent staff change - now, no one knows how it
| was set-up. Any ideas?
|
| They were not using additional software - the shared contacts were
| apparently updated immediately, automatically. There is only one
| contacts folder on each machine.
