Sharing contacts between OL2003 and OE6

For years I've used Outlook 2000 and Outlook Express 6 with a shared
address book. There was an option on OE6's address book to share contacts.

Now I've upgraded to Office 2003 Pro, and would still like to use OE6
for newsgroups and email reading on occasion.

I have migrated all my contacts from OL2000 to OL2003 without a hitch.
However, I don't see an option in OE6 or in Outlook 2003 to share an
address book anymore!

How can I get back to sharing the contacts between the two, not just a
one-time export from OL2003 to OE6. Searched online help and on MS's
office web site, but they seem to indicate that the only way to do it is
to export-import.

Thanks.

Only the long abandoned IMO mode of Outlook ever had this option. Full
versions never did.
You can replicate it with a reg hack, if you want:

Thank you. That reg hack works very well for what I need.
