Jeez - Frank, if you are going to bottom post, at least do some judicious
trimming first. A lot to dig through for the "you're welcome"!

After furious head scratching, Frank Saunders, MS-MVP IE/OE asked:
| || message ||| |||| Forgive me for cross-postring, but I'm sure that I've seen a post
|||| on one of these Outlook/Outlook Express newsgroups that explained
|||| how to ensure that the address book in OE has the same entries as
|||| the Contacts in Outlook, but I'm unable to find it.....
||||
|||| Can anyone help? I'm referring to the address book in OE 6.0 being
|||| the same as the Contacts in Outlook 2003.
||||
|||| Many thanks,
||||
|||| Martin

||| Microsoft Press by Ed Bott and Carl Siechert
|||
||| "Earlier versions of Address Book gave you the option of using your
||| Microsoft Outlook Contacts folder in Outlook Express. If you
||| accepted this option, Address Book became a front end to Outlook,
||| visible in Outlook Express and any other applications that used
||| Address Book. Contacts added via Outlook thus became accessible to
||| Outlook Express, and contacts added to Address Book by means of
||| Outlook Express options (such as Outlook Express's option to add the
||| names of people you reply to via e-mail) became usable in Outlook.
|||
||| "This integration with Outlook is still available in Address Book 6
||| (the version shipped with Windows XP), but only via an undocumented
||| registry edit. To share contact information between Outlook and
||| Address Book, open Registry Editor, and go to
||| HKCU\Software\Microsoft\WAB\WAB4. Add the DWORD value UseOutlook to
||| this key (if it isn't already present), and set it to
||| 1. To return to the unintegrated state, return to this registry
||| value and either delete it or set it to 0.
|||
||| "The tradeoff for integration between Outlook and Address Book is
||| that it precludes your using identities in Address Book. If you are
||| using Outlook integration and you display the Folders And Groups
||| pane in Address Book, you see the subfolders of your Outlook
||| Contacts folder instead of your shared contacts and personal
||| contacts."
