Outlook and Google to communicate with each other and share a damn address book.
Every time I add a contact, I have to enter the data to both, so my outlook contacts are up to date and I can email, and Google gets it as well so I can call via my phone.
(If my landline phone could also share the names and numbers that would help, but that's just pie in the sky. Just the computerised devices with internet access sharing would do.)
If it annoys me, just imaging how irritating it must be for less technical souls ...

You mean, baskets are generally a bad container for eggs ? Or was that in one basket ?

Both know all your contacts, where they live, what they do, what they vote...
They're just sharing it with you

What, you want competitors to communicate? It's hard enough getting people on the "team" to communicate!

You and my wife both. For like the past decade or more.
The address book for some reason as been the pawn in the struggle.

I know you are just complaining and you did not post in Q/A, but you cannot expect to post on this site without us trying to help.
Try creating the contact on your phone and then mail it as a Contact card to your other account. You should be able to import the attachment. It might work for updates, too.
I remember creating a spreadsheet to try and import a list of contacts en masse to Gmail/Google. Stupidest import utility ever. You had to specify all 150 or so columns in the exact order even if 147 were empty. It was gross.

I suspect I'm "whinging", or possibly "whining" rather than "complaining". Possibly "moaning" ... 
I know what you mean though - I looked at automating it, and it is indeed a PITA to automate. But for Google and MS to cooperate and do it would be simple - and in the interests of users. Plus, it would make their systems more likely to be used across platforms, which has to be good for them as well ... 
As it is, I hate using Outlook on my phone ...

Whining was the first word that popped to my mind, but I thought complaining seemed a little more polite. (I am glad YOU said it 😊)
Did you try forwarding a contact to if it could be imported?

Thanks. It's nice to find an anagram that makes part of a sentence without too much torture.

Even a bit more, since official membership was on valentine's day in 2002 - but I have been there from almost the beginning on, before TheTerribleDatabaseCatastrophee, so you can probably add two years to this. (here the screenshot : CP in 2000[^]
I am bit nostalgic of the early days, where I could help a lot of fellow programmers in the C++ forum with Microsoft Foundation Classes, and also helped shaping this website piece after piece. I can still remember the day I joined the community - I had a question about Embedded Visual Studio, in times where embedded code for automotive in C++ was .. stuttering, I was sitting near my buddy who was doing an internship with me, in the office of one of the big automotive company (the one with a star) developing diagnostics systems for embedded ECUs, and he told me "Hey, I found a cool website, maybe you can ask your question there". From there on, the addiction began. Got to know a lot of very, very nice and talented people all the way, and still very happy to be in the community. Career got me away from new technologies, C#, web stuff and so, but still enjoy going through Q&A to see what I could have known
Cheers CP and Loungers, and thanks Chris for the technical help your site provided and ... for the rest ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif)

I joined late in 2003, so some way to go yet. But I do recall getting help from some great articles back in the day when I had a proper job.

>22 years here. I fondly remember being kept company by the Lounge crowd in the wee hours of the morning, while rebuilding the company's transactions records (Ace Hardware) that got deleted for three days by a manager, using paper reports to repeat ever transaction. The group kept me (relatively) sane those 36 non-stop hours of data re-entry. Good times....

I think I probably could as well.
