I'm still concerned that I'm able to get results from "find people" which
don't appear in my address book! I've checked to make sure the address book
isn't being shared.
How is this possible? Thanks as ever
David H.

I'm sorry I don't understand. Should I export it as .wab? Look for a
phantom .wab somewhere?
Go to Start | Run and type
wab /a
You will then be able to see everything that is in the Address Book.
(Make sure that View | Folders and Groups is selected.)

Thanks Frank. Since I'm using eight accounts with Outlook (and not all the
address books are the same). when I do a "find people" are all the contact
books searched? So if I do a find people in one account. the results will
show addresses from others? It's confusing since the search results don't
indicate which address book they are coming from. But it explains duplicate
names which are reported which may not be in the current address book.

If it's one Windows User Profile all of the Identities are in the same
Address Book. but in different folders not visible in other Identities. I
really don't know how much of this it searches. since I only have one
Identity.


That's exactly what happens. Since between my wife and I there are six
Identities. a find people does in fact search them all and provide combined
results. I checked this by going to one of my identities and doing a
search for a name I knew was in my wife's address book. it came
up. Strange but at least now I understand it.

It used to work... and when I click on Start-Find-People I get the "Find
People" dialog box. But if I try to Find-People from within OE (through
either the Find button or the Edit menu) nothing happens. Can anyone help.
Go to OE tools/address book to open address book.
Now in the address book go to menu/edit/find people and set the dropdown box to address book rather than the LDAP service.

Hope this helps.

I did what you said but still when in OE. nothing happens when I click
on the Find-People button or click on Edit-Find-People menu item.
when the Address Book is open. clicking on Find-People there
does bring up the Find-People dialog box with either the LDAP or Address
Book format... depending on its last view.
clicking on Start-Find-People works OK with either the LDAP or
Address Book format... depending on its last view.

Sandi...
Even if AddressBook-FindPeople is set to AddressBook. still when in OE's
main screen. nothing happens when I click on the Find-People button or click
on Edit-Find-People menu item. However. when in Address Book. clicking the
FindPeople button does work on either the LDAP or Address
Book format... depending on its last view.

Your LDAP associations definitely seem to be broken. Go to control panel/view/folder options/file types. Scroll down to URL:LDAP protocol. Click on edit. and edit again and check that the aplication used to perform this action is as follows (just make sure the path to wab.exe is correct). the quote marks and spaces should all be there:
It *could* be a problem with wab32.dll. Try extracting a fresh copy from c:..windows update setup files using system file checker. and let the programme do a run through and check for other corrupted files.

Hope this helps.

My URL:LDAP protocol appears the same as you showed me. BTW. its icon
is a generic Windows icon. not IEv5's icon. Is that important? A couple of
my other URL:* protocols have the same generic Windows icon.
Where you suggested extracting a fresh copy of wab32.dll. I could not
understand you path. Could you please be more specific where I could get
wab32.dll extracted from?
In the Specify the system file you would like to restore box. and then click Start.
Follow the instructions on your screen to complete the extract process. and then restart the computer.

Hope this helps.

I did every step exactly as you prescribed but when clicking the OK
after filling in the Save File box. I got the following error message: File
not found. Verify correct 'Restore From' location.
The Restore From info you gave be was "c:..windows update setup files".
If this is a path without the back slashes. I don't have such a path. What
is "c:..windows update setup files" and how do I type it in? Sorry for being so dense; I'm sure I'll be thoroughly embarrassed after
your explanation of "c:..windows update setup files". BTW. I also let SFC
run its normal operation and nothing was reported.

use find file to find wab.cab and adjust the path as appropriate.
--
Hope this helps.

If this is a path on my hard drive. If I put in
the slashes in your spaces. I get an error saying there's no such path. If
this is not a path. to where are you directing my attention? If it is on the web under Windows Update. I don't understand the
"...setup files..wab.cab" part of your statement.

Start up windows explorer for me. and have a look at your c drive. Make sure there is a folder called *windows update setup files* on that drive. The .cab file is on your hard drive. and it is not at the windows update site either.
..is a separator between folder names. not between words. In this instance you are telling the machine to look in c drive for a folder called windows update setup files. which has a folder called wab.cab inside it.

If he used map quest he'd never get there. That is the most worthless thing
I've seen on a computer since anything carying the Microsoft name.

but the phone company charges for that.
only the office phone number.
as there's bound to be a few of them. so it would likely be easier to find.

For a long time now. I've been trying to find a male friend
to be close to. and to share kisses and hugs with who
lives in the Inland Empire/Sothern California area. I am
not looking for a sexual or romantic relationship (other than
being affectionate).
I searched all over the web. but all I end up with is gigantic lists with posts filled
with things such as "Cum to Me fOr hOtT sExXy fun" and ads for dosens
of pay personals sites (alot of which don't tell you that you have
to for over $29.95 a month until they got your e-mail address) Its
the same no matter what kind of catagory you are browsing in. and I
couldnt even find so much as a news group or web forum for people
who want real close friendships.
Is every man and woman out there just existing to get laid. or are
there actualy people who want to be close friends. who aren't
looking for sex? And is it actualy possible to _COMMUNICATE_
to these people without having some 3rd party wanting money
to allow you to talk to that person?
ehel's post and your reply to her did not show on my
server until now. where then my posted reply below just repeats the
same sort of thing.
Maybe if you worded it as you just clarified. in your reply to Ethelread. rather than just refer to it as "friendship"? Just like most of all. that we are hetero. they too
for some I am sure had the pahse of the kissing only somewhere in their
life. That yould go beyond later or not. they coudl for soem relate to
this I am sure. and maybe share in hwo they went about it in that time fo
their life....?
I hope not. If this turned out to be true. according to preference.
Coitophobia: Fear of coitus
Erotophobia: Fear of sexual love
Medorthophobia: Fear of an erect penis
Phallophobia: Fear of a penis
Calling these things "phobias" puts an extremist spin on things
but I'm sure there must be some people with mild degrees of these
phobias who might well be quite comfortable with your line of
thinking.

Nah. Just coz someone don't want summat doesn't mean he's afraid of it.
Like. I don't want a spider (I wouldn't know what to do with one if I had
it) but that doesn't make me an arachnophobe.
I wonder if some of these phobias are actually serious. like if anyone ever
actually had them. or whether they were just made up by someone in an idle
moment. Apparently there's one for peanut butter. though I can't remember
now what it's called.

if one were to systematically split all of one's hairs into four.

Wanted to pass along a few "people search" websites that seem to help
people find who their searching for.
but people have been raving about it. Cheap and
so deatiled. They give you waaay more info on who your looking for than
any other "pay site". and are lots cheaper than the other places.If you
cant find someone this is the place to start.Specializes in OH(may
locate b/name and or adopted name)FL. 3rd:This is a really great place if you were born/had a child in CA. Do
you know their adopted name? Do you know your birth name? Well type in
the county/dob/sex and you'll see all babies born with name/mothers
maiden..Alll for FREE ! CA birth index ONLINE !

I've noticed that certain
names aren't appearing in the address book. However. when I use "find
people" I find their entries. sometimes listed in duplicate or triplicate.
Why aren't they appearing on the regular contacts list? The only way I found to add them again is to right click. right
click again on their address and add to address book.

Thanks David. I checked and I'm not sharing the book and I don't have
folders or groups set up. What's next?

Hey there. I am basically a lurker but have been reading for a bit now.
Always some good advice contained here.
My question revolves around finding people to offload work to. I recently
accepted a job in a somewhat related skill set of mine. I could do this
task but would have to learn a few things that I most likely won't have to
use again. I would much rather pass this work off and retain just a bit of
the profits so I can concentrate on the part of the project I do best.
Are there any sites that I can place a task on and people would look at?
Something like "I need someone to do blah. please contact me if you are
interested."

And what is it exactly you need done? no details needed )
This is as good place to start.

At times I offload work to others - and I get work from others. Most fo
these people I've found via networking. especially at the Independent
Computer Consultant Association meetings and conferences. Over the last
11 years. I've built up a fairly good network of other consultants. And
if those people can't do the job. at least one probably knows someone
who does.
I don't just hire anyone - and I definitely wouldn't place it on one of
the big sites. After all. it's my personal reputation which is on the
line.

Other good places have already been mentioned. so as long as others here
are already expressing interest too. please feel free to post a message to
our new egroup I've set up for the purpose. It's for clients (like
yourself) as well as brokers. We have consultants all over the US with a
variety of skills (and we're not a broker). and several of us are
available.
Work the same contract on our 1099 instead!
The nice thing about consultants-on-demand is they're skills based. You could
list a project. select the skills and you'll be presented with a list of people
matching those skills. You have the right of first contact with them so you're
not getting bombarded with people contacting you.

When I used COD to look for contracts. I usually got sent contracts not at
all matching my skill set. so I don't know if the company looking for
people would have the same problem.
Work the same contract on our 1099 instead!
I would start off with FREE methods such as the news groups or ones that charge
a one shot posting fee. Why get another party into your weekly accounts
payable. especially if you hope to make a long term relationship with these
other people. not "Ok project over. get a way from me" type deals.

I have been trying to find someone who was very special to me. Does anyone
know how to conduct a proper search for someone? Sorry if this is in the
wrong place.

I just got myself a yahoo address because with the nastiness in some
newsgroups I didn't feel quite comfortable having my actual name on
the posts alongside my "handle" bforester. If this post works out
I'll be using the new address not only for posting but also for
personal email. That way I can retrieve it anywhere I go.

I am probably going to get flamed on this posting. I appologize in
advance. I am really looking for the place to post the following
message.
We are a small manufacturers' rep company. Our clients often ask us to
help them find products and resources we don't normally handle.
like any good businessman. we don't turn away business if we can help
it. We were recently asked to help a client find Delphi resources for
internal programs. How do I do this and where do I look? The location
is central Ohio. Any "positive" feedback would be welcome.

one of the greatest problems I see for the entire Borland
community (save JBuilder and Visgenics) is a place where people may
centrally post jobs.. This is one reason. Borland has a hard time overcoming
the competition.
