Sync with Outlook

Print this Topic Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Note: Synchronizing with Outlook is not an easy procedure, especially compared with the smooth and systematic way TntMPD works internally. Due to the complexity of Synchronizing with Outlook, this Help tool does not provide detailed instructions.

If you use Outlook as your personal information manager and/or e-mail agent, then you want to avoid maintaining two sets of contact information. This is particularly true if you sync your handheld device with Outlook. Sync with Outlook allows you to export contacts, tasks, and schedule data to Outlook.

From the Sync with Outlook menu you can choose:

Which TntMPD activity to synchronize (contacts, tasks, or appointments).

Menu Path: Tools | Sync with Outlook

Send one individual contact to Outlook or an entire group.

Define the settings for your Outlook synchronization.

How TntMPD and Outlook relate

What TntMPD displays

What Outlook displays

Husband & Wife’s name together.

Husband's name alone as contact, wife’s name on Detail page.

Husband & Wife’s birthday and anniversary together.

Husband’s birthday and their anniversary are Outlook events; wife’s birthday is lost.

Business and Other address are blank.

Business and Other address are also blank, but country is populated for all contacts.

Country is blank if it is in the home country as defined in Options.

Country appears for all contacts, even if they are in my current home country.

"Company Name" on the Personal Tab refers to the contact's employer.

Example: If George Jetson works for Spacely Sprockets and lives at 2001 Skypad Way, in TntMPD his address would appear like this, and Spacely Sprockets appears on the Personal Tab as his employer:

George Jetson, 2001 Skypad Way, Orbit City, FL 33701

"Company Name" appears in the Mailing Address Block, as if it was a business address. George Jetson's info in Outlook would appear as:

George Jetson, Spacely Sprockets, 2001 Skypad Way, Orbit City, FL 33701

Is it possible to change the way Outlook's and TNT's fields are mapped to each other?  For example, if I wanted to allow Outlook to display husband's and wife's names, is that possible?

You can't change the way fields are mapped between TntMPD and Outlook.

Is there a way to export the contacts and, more importantly for me, the scheduled tasks and appointments to a format that I could use somewhere other than Outlook?  I'm thinking exporting into a CSV format at the minimum so I can import in to other calendar applications such as Google calendar.

Contacts: File | Export Current Group

Tasks/Appointments:  click "Export all Rows to Excel" button.

How do I syn with Outlook for Mac, or the default Mac Mail, Calendar & Contact applications?

You can't.  Currently, Sync with Outlook is a PC-only feature.

How does tntmpd currently sync with Outlook?  Does it use the sync api?

TntMPD interacts with Outlook using it's Automation COM/OLE interface.
