There are 2 schools of thought here.
1. Microsoft leaves some utilities for 3rd party vendors to program and
thereby enriches others and the software industry, encouraging innovation
and revenue to others.
2. Microsoft is lazy and can't program its own platform to make it easy for
me to do xxxxxxx.
Oh, and there is always the third one - "Microsoft just sux."

||| Hi,
||| I'm runnin outlook 2003 sp1 on both computers.
||| I want to copy the contacts fm the tower to the laptop, but I don't
||| want the tower data to overwrite the data on the laptop for same
||| names because the data on the laptop is current.
||| Can this be done?
