To share Contacts between Outlook and Outlook Express |
|
|
In certain configurations, Microsoft Outlook can expose data in the Contacts folder to the Windows Address Book (WAB) that Outlook Express users. In effect, this means that Outlook and Outlook Express are sharing the contacts. Creating a new contact in the WAB actually creates a new contact in the Outlook Contacts folder. Note that if you turn on sharing between Outlook and OE, any data previously entered in the Outlook Express address book will not be visible until you turn off sharing. You must choose whether you want to see Outlook contacts or the original OE address book. You can't have both. Outlook 2002 and Outlook 2000 CW | Outlook 98 and Outlook 2000 IMO | More Information |
Outlook 2003, Outlook 2002 and Outlook 2000 CW |
Officially, Outlook 2002/2003
and Outlook 2000 in Corporate/Workgroup mode do not support sharing of its contact data
with Outlook Express, but there is a registry hack that works, at
least with some versions of Outlook Express. Follow
these steps:
Outlook Express will display the Contacts folder in the default delivery store (Exchange mailbox or Personal Folders .pst file) in Outlook. You cannot direct the WAB to a particular Contacts folder, except by changing the default store. To turn off sharing, set the value for HKCU\Software\Microsoft\WAB\WAB4\UseOutlook to 0. This is a valid registry entry for Outlook Express 5.0 and later versions. Outlook MVPs have tested it with Outlook 2003, Outlook 2002, and Outlook 2000 CW and OE 5.0 and 6.0 so far. Thanks to MVP Frank Saunders for pointing it out. Note that this technique shares only contacts. Outlook Express cannot read information about Outlook distribution lists that might be stored in the Contacts folder. Also note that when you use Outlook Express you'll see Outlook.exe running in Task Manager even if you don't have Outlook open. |
