When you are viewing your contacts in a list the "map location" button should
be avalable insted of having to open the contact and then click the button.

How would it know what contact it should locate??? Really, think about it
before you post.

If you have a contact selected, but not opened outlook would know which
concat you would want to map.

Really? Any random contact highlighted when you click on the contact folder
is the EXACT one you want mapped? Sorry, not at all intutive and highly
unlikely to ever be implemented.

Milly,

when you open the contact folder, and click on a contact... you are viewing
ther info ...but you are not in a separate window, and you want to get a map
of their location... you don't think it's stupid to have to open the contact
and then click on a icon to get a map?

I guess the way Microsoft programs work these days you want a user to click
as many windows and icons as possible... I.E. Office 2007 and Windows Vista...

It's a shame that Microsoft would want MORE clicks to get to a great
feature... AutoDesk is trying to constantly reduce clicks... it makes a
computer user more efficient.
