Set address book to use contacts folder vs. outlook address bo
You tube doesn't require log-in or registration its public domain. A picture
is worth a thousand words. Several contacts in outlook are not displayed in Address book view. THANKS for helping. If I hit the little icon to the left and search for Michael Lami he's not there. If I use the search bar next to the address book Michael Lami is displayed as found in contacts and his full-view contact window is displayed when I select him via that method of search. The problem is that I want to add him to a distribution list but he's not in the address book view so I can't. Why isn't the address book view accurate or synced with the contacts? In adddress book view tools options this is what I see and I'm not utilizing business contact manager as of yet it's just installed. Show this address book first ~ Outlook address book Accounts Business contacts Outlook Address book ~ Keep personal addresses in Accounts Business contacts Outlook Address book ~ Add address list Outlook Address book Accounts Business contacts Outlook Address book I've tried every option and combination in address book view options before ever persuing help on this discussion board and I see no "contacts" option and never have until Russ Valentines latest post of even cluing me in that there was one.

Set address book to use contacts folder vs. outlook address bo
He forgot to tell you he installed BCM. Look at the dialogs he has in the
address book view. That changes everything. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote in message ... As others have tried to explain, the address book (seen when you click To or the address book icon) is a virtual address book containing only electronic addresses. In the paper world, this address book would be a desk drawer and each contact folder or other address source is a book, envelopes with return addresses, or business cards tossed in the drawer.

You know, Russ, I don't "go" anywhere (links, web sites, etc.) to see all of the information that should be in a post.

Set address book to use contacts folder vs. outlook address bo
Ughh! I don’t mean to sound exasperated but I am. I get that it’s a view
only. Diane I think your questions are on the right track but I feel like I'm going in circles. I still feel that we cannot solve this until you see my dilemma in action. Milly, your point is taken but what’s proper to you and proper to me is different that’s why a picture is worth a thousand words. However I understand why you wouldn’t click on a link from a newsgroup so if you wanted to see the picture that is worth a thousand words and much easier to interpret. One could go to youtube.com and search for key words “Microsoft outlook address book woes” or “brainstewn,” too. If you would have watched the video you would fully understand my situation in a context that cannot be misunderstood because writing so that all can interpret, is subjective. Diane thanks for your patience: I highlighted the folder then I clicked from top most menu Tools\options but that’s not where you want me to be. I click the icon next to the search bar with the words “search address books” in gray. I select tool\options and a window “Addressing” pops up with a tab called addressing. I have three options that tab: Show this address list first= Outlook Address Book Keep Personal Addresses in= Outlook Address Book When sending mail …. = there is only one item and it is “Outlook Address Book.” I highlight the one item “Outlook Address Book” I click the properties button below the white box with the one item and a pop-up “Outlook Address Book” with a “General” Tab appears. In the General Tab are two lines: Information = Personal Folders Contact folder = Contacts While the contacts folder under “All Outlook Items” is highlighted I see all the contacts including Mr. Lami which only has three phone numbers and one email address which is correctly formatted. I right click the icon next to “Contacts” under “Outlook Folders” and see no tools or options just properties, after selecting that I click the “outlook address book” tab and in the tab “Contacts” and a box with a check in it with the words: “Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book” but the box and words are light gray, I can’t modify. The name of the address book is “Outlook Address Book.” I’ve done very little modifying of the install since installed I don’t see how BCM can affect this as I have done anything with it and that folder has no contacts in it. Plus I installed BCM after I imported contacts initially so why would BCM affect Mr. Lami who has been in my address books for almost a decade? Please let me know if this is property formed questions and description.

Set address book to use contacts folder vs. outlook address bo
I right click the icon next to “Contacts” under “Outlook Folders” and see no tools or options just properties, after selecting that I click the “outlook address book” tab and in the tab “Contacts” and a box with a check in it with the words: “Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book” but the box and words are light gray, I can’t modify. The name of the address book is “Outlook Address Book.” Typically when this option is grayed out in Outlook 2007, it means the profile is corrupt and you need to make a new profile. If using older versions, the fix is: If you have Contacts in the Contacts folder but they are not accessible when you click on the To button, check these settings: Make sure the Contact folder is enabled as an email address book. Right click the Contacts folder, choose Properties then Outlook Address Book. Is the box to enable as email address book is checked? If this is grayed out... Go to Tools | Email Accounts, choose View or change existing directories or address book. Is the Outlook Address Book present? If it isn't listed, add it and close and restart Outlook. If it is listed, then remove it and close then restart Outlook and repeat these steps to add it. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: "brainstewn" wrote in message news  Ughh!

If I use the search bar next to the address book ||| Michael Lami is displayed as found in contacts and his full-view ||| contact window is displayed ||| when I select him via that method of search. ||| ||| The problem is that I want to add him to a distribution list but ||| he's not in ||| the address book view so I can't. Why isn't the address book view ||| accurate ||| or synced with the contacts? In adddress book view tools options ||| this is what I see and I'm not utilizing business contact manager ||| as of yet it's just ||| installed. ||| ||| Show this address book first ||| ~ Outlook address book ||| Accounts ||| Business contacts ||| Outlook Address book ||| ~ Keep personal addresses in ||| Accounts ||| Business contacts ||| Outlook Address book ||| ||| ~ Add address list ||| Outlook Address book ||| Accounts ||| Business contacts ||| Outlook Address book ||| ||| I've tried every option and combination in address book view options ||| before ||| ever persuing help on this discussion board and I see no "contacts" ||| option ||| and never have until Russ Valentines latest post of even cluing me ||| in that ||| there was one. ||| ||| Ciao ||| Darrell
