Dave,

I was using BOTH Outlook and Outlook Express. They shared the same Outlook
contacts. When I updated my Contacts in Outlook they were updated for
Outlook Express as well. And I can synch my Outlook with my Treo and all of
Outlook, Outlook Express and the Treo have the same up-to-date contact list.

From what I can see, and what I've read here, Outlook and Outlook Express
can no longer share the same Contacts. This is a major issue for me, and the
notion of having to repeatedly convert and import Contacts from Outlook to
Microsoft Mail is completely unappealing.
