Vista contacts - How to access from OO

[steelej]

Welcome beginner. Please answer all of the questions below which may provide information necessary to answer your question.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Which version of OpenOffice.org are you using? 2.4
What Operating System (version) are you using? Vista Home Premium updated with all patches.
What is your question or comment?

I am installing OO into Vista for a friend. I have had few problems but I tried to link the Vista contacts list to Address Data Source without success.

is this possible?

If not will it be in the next version?

I am experienced with software installation but not so much with Vista and not at all with Open office (yet).

No experience with MS Vista, but I believe if you can get an ODBC datasource setup to the contacts list you should be able to use it.
