I'd really like to use Outlook as my default email instead of Outlook Express
however I'm having a problem that makes setting it up a potential pain.
Whenever I try to import the contacts from OE Express it mostly works just
fine. However, I like the way the tabs are in OE Express under an
individuals properties, specifically the personal tab where I can for
instance put in my brother's spouse and children names birthday aniiversary
etc. But this will not import into OE 2003, the details tab there does have
birthday and spouse name and anniversary but does not include children's
name. Plus it has business info as well as personal combined on the details
page where OE Express has separate tabs for this. In OE if I go to the tab
that says All Fields it has a spot for Children, Hobbies and other info and I
can type that info in. But it will not import into those fields from OE
Express and trying to navigate to that info later is a pain to have to go
through all of that. I really don't want to type all of that info all over
again, cousins birthdays kids names etc. plus I'd like to keep the business
and personal info separate. Also, and I'm sure its by design, I can't edit
any of those fields properties so I'm stuck with the way the pages are. It's
great that Office can integrate all sorts of info from different programs but
the defaults on this one just don't help me a lot. I learn these programs by
trial and error and the help files mostly so I may have missed something
extremely easy . At least I hope so. Any help is greatly appreciated.
