Saving Contacts... Avoiding This

J

JCO

I can't find the options so that my Outlook will not automatically save
emails accounts in my contacts. I know how to do this in Outlook express
but not in Outlook. Can somebody give me some help in this matter.
Thanks!

No current version of Outlook even has such a feature. What version are you
using and what makes you think data is being saved to your Contacts Folder
against your will?

Version: Using Outlook 2002 sp3

Because....
If I was to use my outlook and send an email to my other email account (as
an example), then when I look in my contacts I will find that email stored
as separate contact. I then delete it. I would like to stop this
automatic storing into the contacts.

Like I said, outlook express has this feature so I thought Outlook would
too.

You're confusing me a bit. You keep saying "email account" when I suspect
you mean email address. At any rate, Outlook 2002 has no such feature. So
you'll need to describe a bit more accurately what you're seeing to see if
we can reproduce it. The only thing Outlook 2002 might do is save a
recipients address in the autocompletion cache, but that will not appear in
your Contacts Folder.
One other possibility is if you did an inplace upgrade from IMO mode of
Outlook 2000 and forgot to create a new profile. But you'd be having lots of
other trouble if you did that.

I may of found the problem.
Sorry to confuse you. Yes, I'm talking about an email address stored in my
contacts.

I believe it was my outlook express that saved the email address in my
contacts. Since the two programs are shared, It appears to be the case. I
unchecked the item in Outlook Express to not store in the address book now.

Interesting, because sharing Outlook's address book with OE is also not
supported in Outlook 2002. I suspect there is more to this story.

Well I forced the sharing with a Registry Hack.. by adding a single line.
My contacts and Address books are shared. What happens to one, occurs in
the other.
I had to do this because of a 3rd party FAX (hp fax) that looks at the
address book only, when sending the FAX.
