In Win 2000 - I haven't tried it in XP - Outlook Express reads the shared
address book as default, while the fax reads the main. So you either have to
maintain identical contacts in both, or accept that half the time you have
to select the address book before getting the contacts.
Does anyone know how to edit these defaults?
