Can anyone recommend a good howto that''ll allow Outlook to
''browse'' the ldap
entries?

Maybe I misunderstood your question:
AFAIK Outlook can only search for entries by (partial) name / e-mail address 
listing the results like address book entries. There''s no "LDAP
browser"
built into Outlook. There are many generic LDAP client tools out there which 
allow "browsing" (using this term in a broad sense).

Ciao, Michael.

I think Paul is asking about using VLV in FDS with Outlook as the client.
The only answer I have is that I''m not sure if Outlook (not
outlook express) supports VLV. It may well do (thunderbird
does, for example). In fact, this page says that it does:

Here''s an old mailing list thread where someone talks about making it
work : http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-software/200207/msg00112.html
