Outlook query

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between Contacts in Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Address book.

Thanks

Mr_Skint_2

Nothing,except for if you like where they are kept in the program i.e they look slighty different, and The contacts cards can hold more info than OE

That was very quick. I noticed that on the contact card there was a place for a spouse but not for children, children could be added in the oe.

I have another question, if you wouldn't mind. I have the 7 day calendar view up and I would actually like it to show the day of the week ie Monday etc. Do you know if this is possible and how to do it. Have had a look round and can't work it out.

Thanks

Mr_Skint_2

Thanks for that, just actually managed to get an answer from the same site myself. Have now got the day in but it is in US format so now I have. Thursday September 8th, guess I should be grateful for small mercies.

Thanks for your help.

The date format is defined by the Long Date format in Control Panel - Regional and Language Options. On the Regional Options tab, click Customize, then on the Date tab change the Long date format to include dddd for the full day name or ddd for the abbreviated day name. For example:

dddd dd MMM yyyy gives Thursday 08 Sep 2005
ddd dd MMMM yyyy gives Thu 08 September 2005

Click Apply to see the result of other formats if you like and then click OK all the way out. Outlook doesn't display the year though. While you're in regional settings check that the drop down is set to English (UK).
