Re: Sorry to still be bugging you

Do not try to share contacts. Open Outlook and make it the default mail program. Close Outlook. Now open Outlook Express and use its menu, File/Export/Address Book, selecting to Outlook or Exchange client. When that completes, close Outlook Express and reopen Outlook. Are the contacts available now in Outlook? If so, problem is solved. Whether or not you later keep Outlook as a your default mail program or not is not important. You are only doing it this time to get the contact information into the program.

Or are you telling us you do not want your contact information to be in Outlook? If you don't want to do what I recommended, then we're both just wasting time here and I'll stop wasting mine now. Good lluck.

I have all the addresses in my book. Then I go to have it share my contacts.
And when I do that all the contacts disappear unless I switch it back to have
it not share contacts.

I do not have a default mail. I do not use these for email. And yes they're
installed on the same computer.

I don't undertand your comment. How are you attempting to use shared
contacts?

And, I note you choose not to answer my two questions. Is Outlook installed
on this problem computer? Is Outlook set as the default mail program. If
you choose not to answer, then there's no point in going on, is there?
