I had a bit of an issue with a USb to IR device on my home XP machine. After contacting the Devices tech support they suggested checking to see if the Option to use the IR device with a Digital camera was enabled in the WindowsXP IR device settings. If this is enabled it will stop Hotsync from working.

unfortunatly I havn’t got a screen shot of this, but you can find it under the IR control panel option.

Hope this helps

It is possible that a Outlook Addin is preventing the MAPI session from closing. What com addins and normal addins do you have running in Outlook?
Thanks

Whoo Hooo!!! iManage question!

Which client and version are you running on the PC?

If you are unsure about Outlook code, please use the batch file suggested by Leif!
In Outlook, open the code window by pressing Alt + F11
Navigate to the ThisOutlookSession Module in the Project tree window on the left and double click it so it opens an code window on the right
In the code window on the right, select Application on the right hand drop down, and startup on the left.
This should automaticaly create a new Sub called Application_Startup
copy the code between (not including) the Sub Fred and the End sub from my code between the Sub Application_Startup() and the End sub in the code window.
Save the project by clicking on the Save button (this saves to VBAProject.otm, wich is stored in your user profile directory)

Next time you start outlook, another window with your contacts should appear

Hope this helps

I take it you want 2 windows a a result, the inbox and the new contact window
There is nothing that I know of in the program option to open other folder on startup, you would have to either create a batch file or use code.
I would imagine it would be easier to write a little code on application startup to open the contacts folder, rather than tring to find all the outlook shortcuts and replaing with the batchfile.

suggested code:

Sub fred()
Dim olexplorer As Outlook.Explorer
Dim olapp As New Outlook.Application
Dim olfolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Set olfolder = olapp.GetNamespace(“MAPI”).GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts)
Set olexplorer = olapp.Explorers.add(olfolder, olFolderDisplayNormal)
olexplorer.Activate
End Sub
Hope this helps

No, you can merge to email with ought changing the default email editor

Question: despite the attachment suffix (csv, txt,001), they are all comma seperated text files?
if this is true then you can treat them the same way, the “type” doesn’t matter, you can write somethig to read and edit all of them

There’s software at Slipstic.com that will allow a user to synchronise their outlook contact with a public contacts folder (which you can secure)
Or, a full blown Contact management software that links in with MAPI may be a better long term solution.

If you import the Excel spreadsheet into a new Outlook contact folder, you can set the properties on this folder to be visible as an address book. You can then select this when performing the merge in Word

In Windows Explorer>tools>Folder options>File types, Find the VCF file type
the Open event command should be set to “C:PROGRA~1MICROS~2OfficeOUTLOOK.EXE” /v “%1”

In Exchange 5.5, unfortunatly no
unless something has changed in Exchange 2000, no for that as well.

Here’s a trick that might solve your issue
In Word 2000, select file> Send to> Mail recipient NB not as attachment
This turns the document into an email, which is sent as HTML mail. Table of contents still work
The only problem is the amount of additional code MSWord puts it, however you could use it as a verbose example to create fresh HTML mails from.

Hope this helps

If the Email address you want to save is in the To section of the Email, open the email and right click each addess you wish to add. You should get an option to Add to contacts
If the email address is in the body of the email, highlight each address and drag and drop it to the contacts folder. This should create a new contact with the address in the Notes section. You can then drag this to the email address field of the contact.

Hope this helps

Sounds Like the Outlook security patch (included in Office 2000 SP2) issue, or the additional security in 2002
