"address book" that no one can figure out quite what it is. The answer is,
"it depends."
Here's an overview of all of them. You'll see what I mean:

I've been reading the postings, learning much. I use Outlook 2002. What
is
the difference between Address Book and Contacts? Would Address Book be
available to me outside of Outlook? Could it be updated from within
Outlook? (Like the OE WAB can be a stand-alone).
