It is the address text box found on the bottom left of the General tab of the
Contact form.

So you're saying the reason it's behaving like that is because the contact
was created in an earlier version of Outlook.

What you describe is how Contact Records behave in current Outlook versions.
If your records were created on an earlier version and migrated, all bets
are off, especially if you ever imported them. There is no setting you can
use to change the behavior for existing Contacts.

Hi,
Windows XP, Outlook 2003
When I view Contacts as Address Cards, if a person has an address, the
address shows on the Address Card. However, if you double-click to open
the
contact, there is no information showing in the Address text field on the
form, whether you choose Home, Business, or Other. If you click the
"Business..." button by the Address text box, the business address DOES
show
up in the Check Address dialog box. If you click the All Fields tab, and
choose Address Fields, you can see the Business Address, etc. in that
list.
How do I make the address appear correctly in the Address text box on the
form when the Contact is opened?

TIA MarieJ
