How to prevent Outlook 2003 from updating the address book everyday?

Question

My outlook 2003 updates its address book everyday, and it takes too long and sometimes freezes my laptop. How to change it to update once a week or even better update on demand?

Answer 1

• Click the ‘Tools’ menu, navigate to ‘Send/Receive’ and then to ‘Download Address Book’.
• In the dialogue that appears, uncheck ‘Download changes since last send/receive’, make sure that ‘Full Details’ is selected and then select ‘Global Address List’ as the Address Book.
• Click OK.
• After clicking OK, you will see a Send/Receive box appear, this updates your local data and then disappears.
