You should note that I waited two days before choosing a different forum and
posting a request for help. The problem is that in the other forum, I also
received a reply that didn't answer my question. So, like your non-answer
below, people will see that I received a reply and then not jump in to help.
Now it seems my only choice is to wait several weeks, and post yet another
request for help on this subject.

It would be most helpful to not reply to a post if you can't help.

We have an existing database which we maintain daily. It contains email
addresses. Is there a way for Outlook to use it as an address book? Can
we make it available as a company wide resource? I don't want to use
import/export because then you either have two copies to maintain or you
have a daily, labor intensive, error prone job to be performed.

thanks for your advice.
