How do I configure my system so Outlook XP and Outlook
Express share the SAME address book (contacts)?
 
I am doing this with Outlook express & Outlook 2000.


Open Outlook Express
Go to "Tools" and select "Address Book"
Now in the Address Book go to "Tools" then
select "Options".
From here you can share your Address Book (wab) with
Outlook & other software.
 
Of course not. That feature only existed with the old IMO mode of Outlook,
never with the full version and not with any current versions.
 
Thank you for this registry hack. It worked like a charm. Why did Microsoft take this feature out? GRRRRRR
 
It was never really a feature in Outlook. The only reason it ever existed
was that the transient IMO mode of Outlook did not have the capacity to use
the Outlook Address Book Service. It borrowed the Windows Address Book
engine, so you were able to see your Outlook Contacts in the Windows Address
Book.
