I have a Contacts list based on a simple list. I Actions menu of the list there are no "Connect to Outlook" button. How can i make it appear?

Is this WSS 3.0 or MOSS 2007 ?2010 Books: SPF 2010; SPS 2010; SPD 2010; InfoPath 2010; Workflow etc. 2007 Books: WSS 3.0; MOSS 2007; SPD 2007; InfoPath 2007; PerformancePoint; SSRS; Workflow Both lists also include books in French; German; Spanish with even more languages in the 2007 list.

Custom lists do not support the connect to Outlook option. I would create a list using the Contacts list and then customise that to suit your needs. Not sure if you can add the Outlook integration to a custom list - maybe someone else here has achieved this?SharePoint Administrator and MCTS | SharePoint Fan www.davepyett.wordpress.com - Follow me on twitter: twitter.com/dpyett

Hi, Make sure you have installed outlook 2003/2007/2010 and enabled the SharePoint Stssync handler add-on control. To enabled the SharePoint Stssync handler add-on, please: 1. Go to Tools -> Manage Add-ons -> Enable or disable Add-ons 2. Look for SharePoint Stssync Handler and disable the add-on. Restart Internet Explorer Go to Tools -> Manage Add-ons -> Enable or disable Add-ons Enable the add-on. In addition, Dave, not all custom lists doesn’t support connect to outlook option. Hope it is helpful!Seven

But i need it time to time, and all the recreation stage is a time eater. Besides we had a list that was originally based on contacts template and eventually "Connect to Outlook" just dissapeared. I never managed to know why.

You need to create multiple contact lists? If so, save your customised contacts list as a template. Then when you need another one, create it from the template and copy in your contacts.SharePoint Administrator and MCTS | SharePoint Fan www.davepyett.wordpress.com - Follow me on twitter: twitter.com/dpyett
