Greetings,

I am using Outlook 2003 SP2 on Windows XP Pro. I have Outlook connector for
oracle calendar installed and a LDAP service. The LDAPservice is not
operating correctly and I am wondering if there is any configuration I can do
to correct the problems. They are as follows:
1. Under the "Tools/Find" function in Address Book, the "Display Name"
field returns a timed-out. Only if I specify(query) an either "First name"
or "Last name" field do I get a valid return.

2. Partial name variants are not supported (or don't seem to be)
example a) Rob/Bob/Robert or Tom/Thomas don't return variants
example b)firstname and lastname only returns an exact match, not
variants of matches
(e.g. Tom Smith only returns no matches, does not return Thomas Smith
whereas in Eudora LDAP T Smith returns any Smith with "t" in a prior name.)

3. In LDAP there appear to be 26 fields (as found using Eudora). Outlook
returns only 7 fields, yet has the capacity for 28 fields. Seems to me there
is a missing something-or-other that maps the appropriate fields from LDAP to
Outlook Address Book.

I have configured Mail\Setup\Email accounts\Directory Service (LDAP)
Settings\More Settings\Search\Search base:
“ou=people, o=orgname, c=US�
(I prefer “orgname“ to be confidential, but I know it is correct)

Is there any other settings or configuration I can do to correct the error
in field mapping?
Please HELP!
TIA
