Have you customized your Global Address List templates? The Outlook team wants to know.
The Outlook team is investigating making some improvements to this scenario, and they would like to see real-world examples from any customer who has customized the templates. If you are willing, please send us the file as per the instructions below.
Note: This file does not contain any personal data from your directory. They're only looking for customized templates with label information such as “Building“.
To get the file:
1. Download the Offline Address Book using Outlook (Tools | Send/Receive | Download Address Book). If you're using cached mode in Outlook 2003, then it's probably already downloaded.
2. On that client machine, navigate to %userprofile%\local settings\application data\Microsoft\Outlook
3. Email the tmplts.oab or utmplts.oab file from that folder to exblown AT microsoft DOT com.
Thanks in advance.

I don't actually have that option under Outlook 2000 (Send / Receive . Download Address Book), otherwise I'd check and see if we'd made any customizations.
Most of our extensions are in an incredibly complex multi-platform environment (we probably push the Exchange <> Groupwise and Exchange <> Notes connectors to their absolute limit), so I'm sure any customizations we have are due to our environment. - Anonymous

No, but I would love to see a slightly different behavior in outlook with respect to my Contacts. Namely, if I ask Outlook to look up an address in the book and it isn't there it should offer to add the address in question. It's annoying to have to start the process again and select "add" instead. - Anonymous
