OL98: (IMO) How Do I Share Information Between Outlook and OE

ID: Q179505

The information in this article applies to:

SUMMARY

This article describes how to share contact information between Microsoft Outlook 98 and Microsoft Outlook Express (OE) that ships with Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.x.


MORE INFORMATION

If you have 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 98.

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 OE 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 98 using the Import and Export Wizard.
