Previously, when I used Outlook 2000 and OE(5?) on Win
98se, any changes in Outlook contacts would automatically
be changed in my OE address book as well.

Now I have Outlook 2002 and OE6 on Win XP Pro and I
cannot get it to dynamically share contact info as
before. The only way I can do it is to export out of
Outlook, and import to OE.

Can I share Contacts as before? Or did MS drop this handy
feature?

Exasperated and thankful for your response,
Bruce

This was never a feature in the full version of Outlook. It was only a
feature in the simplified IMO mode because IMO was really using the Windows
Address Book as its address book engine.

If you really need this feature in Outlook, you can create it with a reg
hack:
