How do I get Outlook Address Book Contacts into the 'To' window
Hi All
You are going to have to bare with me on this, as I can't explain it any other way. In essence, user is using Outlook 2000 (possibly 97 couldn't check at the time) on an XP machine and they have created a number of contacts in the Contacts section of Outlook. Problem is that when they do a new message and click the 'To' button they can't get these contacts to appear in any of the lists that appear, eg Global Address List, All Contacts, etc. They do have a lot of contacts in this window, but these appear to be stored in their Exchange part of the system, as these contacts all appear in the Global Address List and not in the Contacts section of Outlook. For your ref, they only have MS Exchange installed as a service, as they are connected to an outside network for their emails. Looking at another machine's outlook, which is on the exact same network, the only difference is that this machine ALSO has: Outlook Address Book Contacts available in the 'To' button's list and the contacts that appear in the Contacts section of this machine's Outlook are all listed in the above Contacts option. My question therefore is how do I get the Outlook Address Book/Contacts part into the other machine's 'To:' window? Hope this makes sense. Regards Laphan

How do I get Outlook Address Book Contacts into the 'To' window
Right click that Contacts folder (the one that does not appear in the To...)
Properties Outlook Address Book and make sure you have CHECK on "Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book". Let us know if this is it.
