Address Layout v. Home Address

[AlSchultz]

I am having a problem using Address Layout in OL2000/Word2000 running in a
standalone (no network or Exchange Server). I had slightly modified the
default settings for AddressLayout that I learned from a MS Article and it
does a decent job of getting a Contact's Name, Company (set up as a
conditional statement) and Address into a Word document, usually a label or
an envelope, but perhaps also in a letter. The only problem is that it seems
to work well only for Contacts whose address is listed as a "Business
Address." If the Contact has only a Home Address, then AddressLayout
returns only the Name; the remaining address fields show up as blank lines.
It seems to make no difference if the Mailing Address box is checked; if the
Contact has a business address, AddressLayout returns it even if the Home
Address is checked as the Mailing Address. Is there a way to fix this so it
returns what I need? Is there a special name for the components of a Home
Address (street, city, state, etc.) that is different from those of a
Business Address? If so, how can I get AddressLayout to return the address
which is checked as the Mailing Address if the contact has both a Home and a
Business Address?

(This could raise a bunch of further questions about conditional fields for
later, e.g., if the mailing address is the Business Address, include the
Company, but don't include it if a Home Address is to be returned) (I can
supply the AddressLayout info if needed)

Thanks!

Post your mail support mode. It if it is Internet Mail Only, then only the
Business Address is available to you. You'd need to use the full
Corp/Workgroup mode of Outlook to access others.

Argh! Some business productivity tool! Have to wonder why the IMO mode
would show both if you could not actually use both, except for lookups. The
mode for my PC used to be Corporate/Workgroups using a dialup connection to
my main office. Now we use MS Terminal Server for access to that network.
I may have made a mistake changing the mode to IMO. Guess I'm, screwed.
Perhaps I can make a Microsoft-style workaround: call everybody's home
address a business address. and try to remember who is affected. For people
with both addresses maybe I simply create duplicate Contacts and figure out
how to distinguish between them.

Thanks!

Why don't you just change to Corp/Workgroup mode?

Is that possible without an actual network?

Sure. Look over all the feature differences and decide for yourself. For

Russ: This seems to work. Luckily I made a copy of my pst file and renamed
it before making the change. Thus, when I ended up with no Contacts I was
able to import the renamed pst. All seems well. Thanks again!

For future reference, renaming and importing PST files is neither necessary
nor wise. Changing mail support modes would not have done anything to your
PST file. Renaming or importing them can cause real trouble.
Always keep current backups of your PST file. If you ever want to change PST
files, you must configure Outlook to use another PST file correctly:
To use another PST file (such as one from an earlier installation) and set
it to be the default for your current installation of Outlook, you will
first need to know the location and name of the PST file you'd like to use
as your new default. Then use the following directions, depending on version
and mode of Outlook:

Corporate Mode: (With Outlook closed)
- Control Panel > Mail applet
- Remove the current Personal Folder service
- Readd the service, directing it to the new PST file location
- Restart Outlook

Internet Mail Only mode:
- File menu > Open > Personal Folders file > migrate to the new PST file
location to open it
- Right-click on the root of the new set of folders in the folder pane (View

Folder List)

- Choose Properties
- Check the "Deliver POP mail" box
- Quit & restart Outlook
- Now you can Close the PST file that you were previously using (R-click on
that pst folder while in Folder View and select "Close <foldername>
Folders"). If you have any information in your former PST that you'd like to
transfer to your new default PST, you can drag and drop from one to the
other before you close the old one.
