Russ,

I followed these instructions and did not have any errors or problems.
When
I am in outlook I am still getting the same issue though. If I go
toToolsAccount SettingsAddress Books, Outlook Address Book is the only
option in the list. Then if I go to the Contacts tabPropertiesOutlook
Address Book it says Contacts is the name of my address book and the box
that
says Show this folder as an email address book is checked and grayed out.

A new profile will create a new empty Outlook data file, which of course
you
will not want to use. At that point, you will need to open your existing
Outlook data file in Outlook so that you can use it instead, then set it
as
your default data file. Then restart Outlook and close the empty PST file
the new profile created. After that you should be able to set your
Contacts
Folder as an Email Address Book and have it appear.
