outlook with Global address book
 

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me with Outlook 03. I have
set up a LDAP server containing all of our company's contacts. I have also
added a new directory called "Global AddressBook" to connect to this LDAP
server. It all works.

However, when composing an email, click on "To" button to bring up the
"select names" popup windows. I can see the "Global AddressBook" on the list
under "Show Names from the" combobox.

when i chose Global AddressBook, nothing was returned on the big listbox.

However, if i click on "Advanced" - "Find", and type "D" in the display
names, it returns entries that starts with "D".

This indicates that the connection to LDAP server is working.

Hence, my question is whether there is a way to retrieve all the entries to
the listbox when Global AddressBook is selected in the "select Names" popup
windows.

Is there some codes that i can use to achieve this task?

Thank you in advance

That's just how the LDAP AB provider is implemented: it does not return any
entries unles you explicilty specify a search criteria.
