"Find a contact" does not work when contact does not have an email address
My problem is that when using "Find a contact" I cannot find a contact
that does not have an email address. The contact is in the searchable contact folder and when I type in part of the name or full name in "find a contact" box I cannot find it. When I edit the contact and type in any email address into it "Find a contact" is able to find it. Any ideas how to deal with it?

"Find a contact" does not work when contact does not have an email address
We would need at least some information. State your Outlook version,
information store, how you created your Contacts for this profile and how you configured your Outlook Address Book. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Jonya" wrote in message ups.com...

"Find a contact" does not work when contact does not have an email address
I love the find a Contact window but it dislikes people without email
addresses. Strange but true. It's always been like that - just make up an email account for them. BTW - don't rely on it to look up by company name - not at all reliable. First and Last name and combinations work well.

Not here. I've never had the "Find a Contact" dialog fail to find a Contact,
even those without an email address. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Judy Gleeson, MVP Outlook" wrote in message ... I love the find a Contact window but it dislikes people without email addresses.

"Find a contact" does not work when contact does not have an email address
Russ I have seen it happen on many clients' sites. It just doesn't seem to
like Contacts without email addresses. Maybe it's only on older versions - I haven't kept track of exact details. I'll test it on 2003 in my training room tomorrow and see what happens.

I don't doubt it. I'd just be interested in the steps to repro. I've never

Try removing the Outlook Address Book Service from your profile.
Restart Outlook. Add it back and make sure your Contacts Folder is enabled as an email address book. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Jonya" wrote in message ups.com...
