That doesn't make sense. There is no "checkbox" to add the address book
service. State your Outlook version and what part of the instructions I
posted you cannot follow and why.

Russ, when I try to add the address book the check box is gray and it will
not allow me to check it in order to add the email address book.

Hi Russ,

I have been reading your notes going back and forth with Millie. I am
having the exact same problem. When I go to Contacts - Properties -
Outlook
Address Book and then try and check the box to show this folder in an
email
adress book, I cannot check it. The box will not take a check or
click.
Something is not working properly.
Any ideas?

You did not transfer the data correctly. Tell us in detail what you
did.
Try resetting the address book service in the Properties of your
Contacts
Folder by enabling the folder as an email address book.

Hi

I've got Outlook 2007 and I've just moved the data file to my
laptop.
It
went very smoothly. My emails and contacts are all there, as you
would
expect. However, when I want to compose a new email and I hit the
'To'
button
to find a contact's email, the address book is empty. Does anyone
know
why?

Ask in an Outlook Express newsgroup.
