Correct!
Answer remains the same. Searches are conducted in Contact Folders, not the address book view. By the time you reach the address book view, you must at least know the name of the recipient to whom you want to send the message. The address book view was never intended for search functions and has been largely abandoned by most users. That is Microsoft's intent. All development has gone into Contact Folders, not the nearly obsolete address book view. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "SFO" wrote in message ...
