Hi.
I have bought a new Dell machine and installed Office 2003 on it.
However, I can't share the Outlook 2003 Contacts information with Outlook
Express much like you could with Outlook 2000 (when you open the Windows
Address Book and tell it to share contacts information between Outlook and
Outlook Express) because there is no Tools, Options command. Is there any
way of sharing the information without importing?
 
Hi Test Man,

The compatibility between Outlook Express and Outlook have been removed in Outlook 2002 and
Outlook 2003. There is a suggested registry hack which can return the functionality you used to
experience at www.slipstick.com. This site is very useful as it is managed by Outlook MVPs.

To address your issue specifically, please go to:

The reg hack is listed here and you might find some other helpful alternatives to resolve your issue.
