555513 2007-06-03 02:54:00 I have recently installed Offfice 2007 under Microsoft's Home User plan. When I open Outlook, I get a grey dialogue box headed Microsoft LDAP Directory that refers to Server Name, Port, User Name, Password and "Use Secure Password Authentication" and seems to be looking an entry for each of these.

I have no idea what to put in these spaces and just click on Cancel and it goes away and Outlook starts. It's not a major but's annoying each time. The other components (Word, Excel etc) don't do this.

Would appreciate advice on how to get rid of the grey box permanently.

Thanks

Tools-Account Settings-Address Book. Remove whatever entry is there which relates to an LDAP server.

555516 2007-06-03 04:48:00 LDAP Servers are basically "address book" servers. They're usually used in corporate settings, so that all employees have access to a common "address book" of each other's email and contact details. somebody (208)
