Any better way to add a shared contact folder to address list
I have seen previous posts regarding a shared contact list has been added to
an Outlook profile but can't seem to be placed in the Outlook Address book.
Was mentioned about opening the other users mailbox and then keeping that
mailbox open in the other profile. Is there no cleaner way to simply add
that shared contact folder into the address book? The user that has been
given rights to the contacts has also been set as an Owner on the shared
Contacts folder but to give rights to the mailbox itself and then also leave
that in the active profile just seems really bad.
So, any new clean way to add someone else's shared contact list into the
other persons Outlook 2007 address book? Also, this was a sub folder of the
first persons contact folder called "Students". So "Students" was shared and
we want that to also be seen as an address book on the other person's Outlook.

Outlook Connector Contacts & Distribution List issues
I use an MSN e-mail account with Outlook Connector for OUtlook 2007 and I've
had an issue for quite a while that I can't seem to tolerate much longer. To
start, I have all my family members on a distribution list set up (as Family
Reunion) and lately I've added three new people to my contacts list, but when
I try to add them to the Distribution list, I'm told that the distribution
list contains contacts that haven't yet been synchronized, press F9 to
synchronize your contacts, then save you list. Thing is, hitting F9 does
the send/receive thing, but I still can't save the changes to the list. Then
to top it all off, when I open up a web browser & sign into MSN, pull up my
contacts, they're all there, including the three new ones I can't add to my
distribution list, but my distribution list (Family Reunion) just isn't there.
How do I get this to act right. I want to add my three new cousins to my
list & I would really like for my distribution list to show up in MSN, though
that's only secondary really, seeing how I'm using Outlook as my e-mail
program.
Please, someone, help me! :( Tag: Outlook 2003 with contact manager Tag: 123448
Stand alone Outlook 2007 can't export......FAE.dll error message
When I decided in November, 2007 that I was going to get an iPhone in
Spring, 2008 my research showed that I could no longer use Lotus
Organizer. Never having installed Outlook from my Office 2003 H/S, I
marched out and purchased Outlook 2007 stand alone, installed it on my
2 year old HP and went to work copying manually, all my contacts,
appointments, etc.
Purchased my iPhone last week and of course, it won't sync with
Outlook. After four days (literally) on the phone with Apple and
Microsoft Research Techs, the problem is NOT solved. However, trying
for a workaround, it was decided several days ago to export my
contacts to Windows Address Book and then sync the iPhone with WAB
(which works). However, when we try to export I get the following
message:
TRANSLATION ERROR
An error has occurred in the Microsoft Office Outlook Translator while
initializing a translator to build a field map.
Internal Error: Unable to load File Access Engine (.FAE) DLL,
additional
Outlook translators can be instaled from the Valupack."
The Microsoft Research Tech says MS is 'working on that error message
but they don't know what causes it. Many people have it'.
Any insight here? I am running Windows XP Home, installed by the
factory on my HP when I purchased it. Office 2003 H/S (Word, Excel &
Powerpoint) - Outlook 2003 was NEVER installed.
Outlook Express did come on this machine when I bought it but I never
even used it. The MS tech says it is part of the OS.
Thanks,

Duplicated names appear when adding members to a DL
Hi there,
I try to create a DL on Outlook and select members from my Contacts. I see

Because the list is huge and I don't want to waste time to select the names
one by one to skip the Fax type entries. However, there is no way to change
the sorting order by e-mail type. Does anyone have a solution for that?
Thanks a lot.

missing distribution list
I deleted one member of a distribution list and lost the whole list. Have
read others' accounts of this, but can't seem to restore. The list does not

Start Outlook, go to file/open/outlook data file. Navigate to my backup file.
Its modified date/time is right now (why?). Select anyway, a pause, screen
looks the same, have today's email and no list. Either the backup didn't
