RE: Adding entries

["Casio" <tim@casson-smith.freeserve.co.uk>]

Well for me to add a directory service in Outlook 98, I go to
1) Tools -> Accounts
2) This allows me to add or amend Directory services.
3) I only have file->exit not file->exit and logoff

I have followed your instructions otherwise and it still doesn't work :(

Regards

Tim
