Default Newer: Contacts not showing up in To: field

I am having problems similar to an old posting that doesn't seem to
have been resolved.

Contacts not showing up in To: field

http://groups.google.com/group/micro...7eb2c7cd1a4367

In Outlook 2002 the contacts list will show up after pressing 'to' in a
new message. However none of the entries show up. The GAL contacts work
fine.

We even made a new 'contacts1' folder and put a few contacts in and
they would show up in the 'to' address book. However once I imported a
..pst of the backup of the original contacts list none of the entries in
the new 'contacts1' list show up in the 'to' address book anymore.

My theory is that there may be a corrupted entry or just too many
contacts 1000+.

Would appreciate any ideas,
-Sean

Simply means you are not adding these Contacts to the same folder you are
displaying in the Outlook Address Book. Check your settings.

It seems to be more comlicated than that. I've checked all the
settings.

The contacts are present when looking from the outlook folder tree. The
contacts are present in the TO address book when only 12 or so were
added manually. However When the 1000 + contacts were imported neither
the 12 origal nor the 1000's more show up in the contacts1 directory in
the TO address book. Could there be a corrupted entry or just too many
contacts?

"12 or so were added manually" means what exactly? That conveys no
information.
You are not describing a known issue, nor is there a limit to the number of
Outlook Contacts the Address Book service can display.
Importing is never the correct way to transfer Outlook data. I suspect end
user error here. Tell us what you did, clearly. Spare no detail if you
expect help from a distance.
