Contact folders and Address books.
I don't seem to have any address books that are connected with anything in
the new outlook program since upgrading to a new computer running VISTA. They show up in contacts though. If I try to send an email by clicking New, and then Mail Message, this opens the Untitled - Message (HTML) window. When I click on "To" I get the Select Names window and there are no Address books in the drop down list to choose from. None of them are currently outlook address books and the "show this as an outlook address books" option is greyed out on all of them. I have gone through the step by steps attempting to add a new address book but it tells me that another cannot be created, and when I attempt to remove it, it is greyed out? How can I make this work?

To what version of Outlook are you referring? How did you migrate your
Outlook data to this installation? How did you configure the Outlook Address Book Service? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "dannyb" wrote in message ...

Hi Russ,
I believe I had outlook 2003 on my XP machine and Office Professional with Outlook 2007 on the new Vista machine. I migrated the data using a BELKIN Easy Transfer Cable for Windows Vista. I guess that I configured the Outlook Address Book Service in a way that does not work. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: To what version of Outlook are you referring?

Indeed. You will find many posts here that tell you that Windows Easy
Transfer creates a corrupt Outlook profile to which you cannot add the Outlook Address Book Service. You must create a new profile from scratch, then connect it to your Outlook Data file using a supported method. Then you can configure the Outlook Address Book to display your Contacts Folder. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "dannyb" wrote in message news  Hi Russ, I believe I had outlook 2003 on my XP machine and Office Professional with Outlook 2007 on the new Vista machine.

Hi Russ
I went to "http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/vistaupgrade.htm" as you suggested to JimmyP and re-installed Office pro 2007. Now none of my history shows in outlook. How do I fix this? dannyb "dannyb" wrote: I have created a new profile but get nothing from "connect new profile to outlook data file" on this site??

The one we've posted here countless times: Open the file in Outlook, then
set it as your default. Restart Outlook and close the new, empty PST file Outlook created with the new profile. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "dannyb" wrote in message ...

You're welcome. As for the rest, none applies. What makes NNTP (newsgroups)
special is that everyone who posts answers here is an uncompensated volunteer. Most of what I know I learned for someone who answered my question. I just pass information along. You can do the same. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "dannyb" wrote in message ... Thanks Russ, You folks are smokin!!!
