With what you say here and I discovered you need to double-click on the Hamoa 
Tree
in the System tray, I finally made some real progress and now I can see what 
you're
talking about.  My admin user is restriceted to localhost.  I set up a normal 
user
with read-only rights ( makes it hard to syncronize, but oh well ).  I am using 
v
1.4.2.  It will read the data and stuff it into Outlook but it generatea a 
"Buffer
overflow" error before it finishes.

I think it might be ready for prime time if they can clean up that error, 
syncronize
all catagories, and work out the security issue Chris mentioned.  Do you really 
want
all your users to have full administratove privilages to your database?

Thanks
