Outlook 2007-address book compatible with windows sharepoint servi

[Jonas Boström]

I get the error message "To use this feature, you have to have an address
book compatible with windows sharepoint services and you must have Internet
Explorer 5.0 or greater." when trying to add user to a sharepoint services
team site after upgrading to Office 2007 Beta 2. I have the IE 7 beta 2 on
the machine.

I guess that WSS 2003 doesn´t know about the new format on the address book
in Outlook 2007?

Is there a way around that?

The message refers not to the Address Book dialog in Outlook 2007 but to a separate address book control that was an optional component in Outlook 2003. I'll see if we can find out what the compatibility issue is here.

Any luck with finding the address book control?

No, im waiting for an answer. I had to "downgrade" to 2003 to be able to use
it. I cant do without that function.

It looks like the address book control will not be included with Office 2007. You'll want to keep an Outlook 2003 machine around if you want to be able to perform certain administrative tasks on SharePoint 2.0 sites. (VMs are your friends.)

Who said that i have instlled it on a production machine?
Stupid!

Presumption -

"I cannot do without that function." Ergo, a required ability on your
machine used for daily use = production.

If this is not the case, then why do you care? Format and start over.
