Main Identity's Contacts Problem in Outlook Express 5.5

Hi,

I'm using WindowsME, Outlook 2000, and Outlook Express 5.5

In OL 2000, my contacts are stored in three categories.  But when I open the
addressbook in OL Express, I see only the contacts from my Business category,
not my other two.  The directory OL Express seems to use is called "Shared
Contacts," and it's retrieving its contacts from a sub directory of Shared
Contacts called "Main Identity's Contacts."

How can I get the contents of all three of OL 2000's contact categories into
"Main Identity's Contacts" without blowing some kind of gasket in either OL
2000 or OL Express 5.5?

I would very much appreciate any help,
Jake

Solved my problem with some more investigation.  Seems I wasn't properly
"sharing" the addressbook with OL 2000, though I'm at a loss as to why I
could see all my updated Business contacts but nothing else.

Thanks,
Jake

Clarify which mail support mode of Outlook 2000 you are using and whether
you have sharing enabled.
Clarify what you mean by Categories.
