Default addresses not found in contact folder

Then your version is too far out of date and out of support to be of any
use.

Try this. Exit Outlook completely. Now open Outlook Express and open its

If it is enabled, disable it, restart OE, then enable it again. Exit OE.
Start Outlook.


The "Do Not Share" box is checked but it cannot be unchecked, the
"Share" item above it is greyed out and cannot be selected.

One other thing that worked back in the day is to rename your wab32.dll fine
then repair Outlook Express. I suspect that current OE versions are now too
far distant from Outlook 98 for OL 98 to continue to function properly.

The above steps did not resolve the problem :-(

I did get a new profile, at least my contact folder and inbox were
empty when I restarted Outlook98.


Empty folders are not the sign of a new profile. You should point the new
profile to your existing PST with FileOpenPersonal Folder File and then
use FiIleProperties to make the PST your delivery location. Stop and
restart Outlook and you should be back to using your existing data. Remove
any extra PSTs with right-clickClose in the Folder List.

I manually added one entry to the
contact folder and then tried to compose a new email message using the
name for that contact in the to: box and still no autofind of the
email address.


I don't know what you mean by "autofind". Do you mean CTRL-K? In which
folder did you add the contact?
