I think the answer to your question is Yes. I'm in Outlook express viewing
my address book that is stored locally on my computer. When I click on
Tools, synchronize Now, I then get the error message. I've been using this
feature for years without any problems, so that I can synchronize my contact
list on my hotmail account. Any ideas? Thanks.

synchronize, I get the same error message. Any ideas on how to fix?
Thanks.
