What version of Outlook are you using? Sounds like you might be using OL98
or 2000. The Contacts folder is usually the main source for addresses. Right
click on the Contacts folder, choose Properties and go to the Outlook
Address Book tab and check the "Show this folder as an email address book"
box

Is it possible to use Contacts as my my email address book in Microsoft
Outlook?
I keep getting the old Outlook Express address book.
