Display Map in Outlook 2003 Contacts with Actions does NOT work!?

  • Thread starter Thread starter Guest
  • Start date Start date
I just tried it here and it seemed to work. What is happening (or not
happening) when you try it?
 
Hi Vince,

Thanks so much for your response.

Actually nothing happens when I open a Contact with a proper address, then
click on Actions then on Display Map of Address.

Shouldn't an Internet Explorer session of MSN Maps open up at least? It
doesn't. And I am online with a broadband connection to the internet. I can
surf fast to MSN Maps manually...unrelated to Outlook
Contacts-->Actions-->Display Map of Address.

Also, I have a full, latest version of MapPoint installed & that doesn't
open up either, or even if MapPoint is open nothing happens.

1. What should I do to make this feature operational?
2. How do I link Outlook Contacts to my installed MapPoint software?

Appreciate your help,

Steve
 
It should work with mappoint since it's installed, unless you disable the
mappoint addin in tools, options, other, advanced, addins.

Hi Diane,

I checked if the MapPoint COM add-in was enabled as you directed & it
is...but it still does not work & never has. Do I need to enable something in
MapPoint 2004 version 11.00.18.1900?

My Outlook 2003 SP1 is version 11.6359.6408 & I am on Microsoft's automatic
updates, as well as updating Office 2003 periodically.

Please HELP!

Steve

it should just work. Look in Help, about, disabled items and see if it's
disabled.
