Move your Microsoft User Data folder to Users --> Shared folder. Next: Create a New User in System Preferences. This will give you a clean environment to work in. The Apple Address Book will be empty. When you move your MUD folder from Shared it will be copied into the Documents folder. Open Entourage and enable sync. I believe the fields you want should be included in the sync. Test one of the applications on Version Tracker. Most are shareware and will allow you to test it out. This is a good way to test a feature without changing anything in your regular User's folder. Move your Microsoft User Data folder from shared back to your regular User's Document folder.

Actually not. MacBu is a part of Microsoft but is separate from the PC groups.

Why did Microsoft replace Outlook for Mac with Entourage? <http://blog.entourage.mvps.org/2007/05/why_did_microsoft_replace_outl.html> Entourage is not Outlook <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/articles/entourage.html> > > I really do read the url you post, and I did a bit of research and reading > before I arrived here guns blazing. IMHO Not a good idea to go asking for help with your guns blazing. -- Diane Ross, Microsoft Mac MVP Entourage Help Page <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> Entourage Help Blog <http://blog.entourage.mvps.org/> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
