Hello Brian;

I have just started using O/L 2007 in Vista. The box that you refer to is
grayed out so I cannot select it. When I follow the help instructions they
indicate to go to tools - address books - select O/L address book and then
click remove. When I do this the remove button is grayed out. It will not
allow me to add a new book either. Can you help?

I want to add members in my address book to a new distribution list.
However, when selecting members, outlook takes me to global address
book. The concept behind a global address book is great, BUT all I
want to do is to select from the list of contacts in my outlook
addressbook. Also, I want the distribution list to be kept local on
my pc.

So, question is, how do I make the contacts in my addressbook (or the
addressbook in my PC) visible? Also, the "show names from the" drop
down list doesn't include my addressbook.

Right-click your Contacts folder, choose Properties, select the Outlook
Address Book tab, and check the box labeled "Show this folder as an e-mail
Address Book". Click OK. Your COntacts folder will now appear in the "Show
names form the" drop-down.
