All Outlook Express Identities should view all contact data.

[OKGranHap]

*** Outlook Express and MS Office Interaction ***
I would like to use one entry of all contact data without going
to MS Outlook... I prefer Outlook Express (OE) for Email...
Currently only the OE Main Identity shows all Address Book entries.
Other Identities can not use the Address Book contact data...
The Address Book shows all entries whether the entry was made
from Outlook Express or by opening the Address Book in the Start
Menu (through Accessories)... Each Identity constructs its own
address (contact) data...
I believe an Option should exist to allow each Identity to access
all contacts in the Address Book. Thank you.

Probably not going to happen as they are 2 different programs serving 2
different audiences with different needs. Outlook does not use the Windows
Address Book as Outlook Express (.wab) so any integration will not happen
until a new model comes, which, so far, there has been no outcry for.
