If I leave OE as my default client, can I later change my default mail
client to Outlook?

What winston said.

After editing the Registry, the OE Address Book will remain stagnant. Any
changes (add/delete/edit contacts) will NOT be seen in Address Book if and
when you disable sharing.

Also keep in mind that only one (1) Mail Client can be the default on the
machine.

Please can you confirm that once I have added the registry setting shown
in
http://www.insideoe.com/files/wab.htm#share it would therefore enable me
update the contacts both in OE and Outlook and it would update in both
applications.

Importing Address Book into OL isn't sharing.

Just do what you see on this page:
http://www.insideoe.com/files/wab.htm#share

cf. http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/oeshare.htm

A lot depends on which version of OL you're using, too.

I would like to enable sharing of the OE6 Address Book with Outlook. I
would be grateful if you would confirm my understanding below and if
you
agree with the method.

Initially I was going to import the current WAB file to Outlook.
Currently
I have a registry entry indicating where the current wab file is
located
ie.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER SoftwareMicrosoftWABWAB4WAB File Name. Do I
need
to delete this? I assume that once this is deleted, under HelpAbout,
the
location of the file will not longer be there. Then I was going to add
the
registry setting to enable sharing of OE address book with Outlook, as
described in the following link and I refer to
http://www.insideoe.com/files/wab.htm#share. I was then hoping that
if
I
use OE, and a new contact is added, then it would also appear in
Outlook,
and vica versa.

Please can you confirm this is the correct method.

Thanks in advance.
