Outlook and OE together - mismatched Contacts count

[bimplebean]

I use Outlook for calendar and contacts, Outlook Express for email. I have four PCs, two at home and two at work. I'm a new user and *love* that Plaxo syncs my data between all computers, but I just noticed; in Outlook I have 1200+contacts, but in Outlook Express the Address book only has about 700.

Why is that? Are there some contacts that just don't make it into OE?

I think that the ones that aren't showing up in OE are businesses - restaurants, banks, web sites, etc. -- that only have a business name and not a first or last name.

Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks...

Outlook Express requires a name for its contacts. So if you have contacts in Outlook with no name, those will most likely not be synced to Outlook Express.
