Re: Outlook 2003

Outlook 2000 and Windows Address BOOK (WAB)could
synchronized so that adding a contact in Outlook would
also automatically appear in WAB. How can I do this in
Outlook 2003.

PS: Installing Outlook 2003 removed all contacts from
WAB. I had to export a CVS file from Outlook 2003 and
import it into WAB.

Only the IMO mode did this, not the full version of Outlook. And it did not
put the Contacts in the WAB either. It simply forced OE to use your Outlook
Contacts Folder _instead_ of the WAB.
You can still do that with a reg hack if you want:

Moreover, installing Outlook 2003 won't touch the WAB. As noted above you
weren't using the WAB before. All your data is most likely still there in a
PST file.
