I recently installed Office Professional Edition 2003
over Office 2000. Now, whenever I open outlook, I get a
dialog box entitled "Microsoft LDAP Directory." The tab
is titled "Connection Details" Fields are Server Name
with NULL highlighted, Port 3268, and User Name. While I
have looked in the Knowledge base and have asked others
to do the same, I have no idea what LDAP is. No matter
whether I choose Okay or Cancel it does then give me
access to Outlook. Also until I installed Office 2003, I
was able to sync mt Palm Tungsten T3 with Outlook. When
I try now, the same LDAP Directory Dialog box comes up,
anf no matter how I respond, neither my calendar or my
contacts are updated, Any suggestions.
 
Go to Tools->Email Accounts->Directories->View or Change and delete the LDAP
option. Then install the Outlook Address Book service. Close and restart
Outlook and your problems should go away.

Followed yor instructions. Outlook seems to work fine
now. Still working on the Palm Sync problem. Thanks for
your help.
