I have the same problem. I am using MS Office Standard 2007 on a Windows
Vista Home Premium OS. I used the "Easy Transfer for Windows Vista" when I
installed Vista. All my emails, appointments and contacts show up fine.
However, somehow my Contacts are not linked with my address book. When I
attempt the fix that you describe, the check box for "show this folder as an
email address book" is greyed out and I can not select it.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
-Jim Mc

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.
