Aloha vtotter,

What version of Outlook are you using?

Right-click the Contacts folder, go to Properties | Outlook Address Book
and check the box for "Show as E-mail Address Book."

I am helping an elderly couple set up Outlook so they can more easily
access
their emails. Unfortunately, when I go to compose a new email and hit
the
"to" button, the contact dialog box comes up, but there are no
contacts to
choose.
However, there are contacts in the address book.
