SUMMARY

This article describes how to share contact information between Microsoft Outlook 98 and Microsoft Outlook Express, included with Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.x.

NOTE: These steps do not apply to Outlook Express 5.0.


MORE INFORMATION

If you installed the Internet Mail Only version of Outlook, you can share the Contact list with Outlook Express. The sharing options must be set in Outlook Express; you cannot set these options in Outlook.

Set the Sharing Option in Outlook Express

  1. In Outlook Express, click Address Book.


  2. On the Tools menu, click Options.


  3. Click to select the desired sharing option. Click OK.


  4. Close the Address Book.


NOTE: Turning on Sharing will not give access to any entries made to the Outlook Express address book while sharing was off. You will not see entries made while sharing was turned off because those entries are stored in the Windows Address Book (WAB). Therefore, it is necessary to import these entries into Outlook using the Import and Export Wizard.
