MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / February 2004ONE shared address book for Outlook & Outlook Express
How do I configure my system so Outlook XP and Outlook Express share the SAME address book (contacts)? No such feature. You can hack the registry to create one, however: http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/oeshare.htm  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > How do I configure my system so Outlook XP and Outlook > Express share the SAME address book (contacts)? 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. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Thank you for this registry hack.

GRRRRRR I must have missed this is there a way for outlook and outlook express to use the same contacts list as I have in outlook 2003??? David > Thank you for this registry hack.

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. >-----Original Message----- >How do I configure my system so Outlook XP and Outlook >Express share the SAME address book (contacts)? > >. I tried this BUT I do NOT have the OPTIONS feature in OE6.0 address book. ??? >-----Original Message----- >I am doing this with Outlook express & Outlook 2000. [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >> >. 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.
