    - Share contacts with Windows Live & Outlook Is it possible to share contacts between Windows Live and Outlook? I do not want to integrate my Hotmail account within Outlook using the Office Connector, as suggested by Microsoft. All I want is to run Windows Live for my Hotmail personal email account only and Outlook for my business email account only, using just one Address Book. If I update an address in Outlook, I would like Windows Live to be able to immediately use that address, and vice versa. I currently use Outlook Express for my current Hotmail account. Up to now, I have been able to use the same address book using the registry fix where Outlook Express uses the Outlook Address Book. How can I continue that functionality after I am forced to switch from Outlook Express to Windows Live? Thanks Tag: How to base Outlook Contacts on Vista Contacts folder Tag: 124569

    - Activities Search List for Contact Folders in Exchange I have created a contact folder in Exchange and I am trying to setup the Activities search list for that folder. However, it will only allow me to select 1 folder, not multiple folders (like on a .pst) and it won't allow me to select the "search subfolders" option. When I click on other folders to search, it gives me a message stating that the Contacts folder only allows activities search in 1 folder. Basically, I want to be able to do an Activities search like in a .pst where I can select any number of folder for the Activities search to process. However, I am using an Exchange 2003 and Outlook 2007. Is this a known bug or do I have to create the Contacts folder on the Exchange differently? Thanx for any hints/replies.

    - Force Outlook to use only one contacts folder (2003) XP Pro, Outlook (Office) 2003 SP3 (SMTP / POP3 mail, no Exchange Server, LAN) I must not have something configured correctly, and I'm getting lost trying to find help in the knowledgebase so I'm turning to this group. On my desktop at work I have two different logins that I use. The old, local, login is not used much any more but is where everything began. The new, network domain, login is now where I spend most of my time. This morning I discovered that Outlook is putting new addresses into the 'new' addressbook instead of the 'old' one which has all my contacts. What are my options? I really only need one contacts folder instead of two, but at this point I don't know 1) how to synchronize the two books or 2) how to tell Outlook to only use one of them. In fact, I was not even able to determine how to rename them so I can tell which one I'm looking at ... Outlook shows me two choices, both named "Contacts." Suggestions, please! -- Clif Still learning Access 2003 Tag: How to base Outlook Contacts on Vista Contacts folder Tag: 124540

    - Outlook link between contacts and mail A couple of weeks ago my computer failed - possibly due to virus or other error. Through use of a boot disk, I was able to save my .pst files to another drive. I have formated a new drive, reinstalled Windows, Office, etc. I copied my .pst file to the new drive. Outlook now shows two Personal Folders files, with two Contacts files, as well as a Business Contacts file which I filled by importing from my Contacts folder. My contacts files are all complete and contain all of the previous contact information from the drive that failed, but I cannot access any of them from the Mail function. If I select New from the mail window and then attempt to fill an address by selecting To: or cc: I get a blank dialog box and cannot type anything into it. I can, however, start from the Contacts window and initiate an email but if I want to use multiple recipients or CC, etc. I have to then copy and paste all of the addresses into the email form.
