I only installed Outlook because I thought I needed it for the Axim to work
with Vista. The main reason I want to use the Axim is for viewing some files
when I'm working away from the office. I may use the contacts feature
eventually but that wasn't my immediate concern. I only used the Windows
Contacts for faxing and was puzzled why I didn't have the option to use them
after Outlook was installed. So if you can figure out how to be able to
choose from both contacts lists (or just Windows Contacts again) within Fax
and Scan I would be very appreciative. Thanks for your help!
