I used to use Outlook XP and was able to share my contacts with Outlook
Express by the following registry mod :-
Go to HKCU\software\microsoft\WAB\WAB4. Add the DWORD value "UseOutlook" to
this key and set it to 1.
The trade off is that this change precludes you using identities in address
book and also stops you creating sub folders in the address book.
I have now installed Outlook 2003 and the registry mod no longer works.
Outlook help gives details on how to export Outlook contacts to Outlook
Express by first creating a Personal Address Book in outlook (pab file) and
then importing this pab file into Outlook Express.
However - I am unable to create a pab file that contains my contact
information - it is blank.
I am following this procedure :-....
In Outlook.......
Tools > Email Accounts > Add a new address book > Additional address book >
Personal address book > Type a file name in Name box > select "Last name" in
Show Names By > Quit and restart Outlook.
When I do this and (in Oulook) click on the address book menu item - the new
address book is shown in the drop down list but is blank - there are no
Email addresses. When I try to import the file into Outlook Express it is
not found.
What am I doing wrong ?
