Contacts appear but no address book?
Hello -
A friend has gotten a new machine and all her email/contacts have been transferred - kinda/sorta. (Outlook 2003) You can look at the contacts folder and see all information but if you click on the address book icon nothing is displayed. I tried to right-click on the folder select properties and go to the Outlook address tab but Outlook will not let me check "Show this folder as an E-mail address book". It is dimmed out. How do I get around that? Is there some else I should be looking at? Thanx so much in advance George

Go into Tools Email Accounts, and under the directory section at the
bottom click add a new directory or address book. That should allow you to add the Outlook address book. -Peter "George" wrote in message ...

OK - I did that and it asks for a selection
Internet directory service(ldap) or additional address books Do I select additional address books and choose Outlook Address Book or Personal Address Book? My guess is OUTLOOK address Book - afterwards I right-click on the folder and show as email address book? does this sound correct? "Peter Durkee" wrote in message ...
