Sharing Data between Outlook & Outlook Express

[Kirk]

Can anyone help?

I have just installed WindowsXP Home Edition on my PC
instead of Windows Millennium.

I use to be able to share contact information between
Outlook and Outlook Express but cannot seem to be able to
achieve this with Windows XP.
I was able to achieve this with Millennium by going into
Outlook Express and then opening up the Address Book. Once
in the Address Book I selected "Tools" and then "Options"
and this gave me the Data Sharing options to choose which
was "Share contact information among Microsoft Outlook and
other applications. Address book data will be stored in
the Microsoft Outlook Contact Store".

By doing this I was then able to synchronise my PDA
Contact with Outlook.

Is this still possible with XP? If so can anyone advise
how to achieve it!
Cheers..

This is an Outlook/Outlook Express problem, not a Windows one.
Try posting in an Outlook/Outlook Express group - and please crosspost
instead of multiposting - it keeps the replies all in one place.

Does work on XP but make sure you have correctly installed Outlook (98,
2000, 2002 or 2003) and you have run it for the first time (setting it up if
asked).

RM,

As OE and Outlook are two different apps they don't share a group. Outlook
is part of Office (obviously) and OE part of IE. The number of folk posting
OE questions in the Office or Outlook forums is astounding.

See http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/files/wab.htm#share or

required to enable sharing.
