Hi all,

I am using Outlook Express for my personal email and Outlook for an email
account for a small business which I run. At the moment, the address book
seems to be shared between outlook express and outlook, which I do not want
to do. Is there any way of disabling this??

Open the Address Book from within OE and click Tools | Options (in the AB).
Uncheck the option to shre.

Frank, I would actually like to share my address book between Outlook
(2002/XP) and OE (v6).

As you recommended I opened the Address Book in OE and on the Tools drop
down all I see is Accounts and Action, no Tools | Options.

There is a Tools | Options in OE, but none of the tabs seem to contain a
share the address book checkbox.

Thanks

Copied from Microsoft WindowsXP/Inside Out
Microsoft Press by Ed Bott and Carl Siechert

"Earlier versions of Address Book gave you the option of using your
Microsoft Outlook Contacts folder in Outlook Express. If you accepted this
option, Address Book became a front end to Outlook, visible in Outlook
Express and any other applications that used Address Book. Contacts added
via Outlook thus became accessible to Outlook Express, and contacts added to
Address Book by means of Outlook Express options (such as Outlook Express's
option to add the names of people you reply to via e-mail) became usable in
Outlook.

"This integration with Outlook is still available in Address Book 6 (the
version shipped with Windows XP), but only via an undocumented registry
edit. To share contact information between Outlook and Address Book, open
Registry Editor, and go to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\WAB\WAB4. Add the DWORD
value UseOutlook to this key (if it isn't already present), and set it to 1.
To return to the unintegrated state, return to this registry value and
either delete it or set it to 0.

"The tradeoff for integration between Outlook and Address Book is that it
precludes your using identities in Address Book. If you are using Outlook
integration and you display the Folders And Groups pane in Address Book, you
see the subfolders of your Outlook Contacts folder instead of your shared
contacts and personal contacts."
