Empty Address text box Field on Contact Form
Hi,
Windows XP, Outlook 2003 When I view Contacts as Address Cards, if a person has an address, the address shows on the Address Card. However, if you double-click to open the contact, there is no information showing in the Address text field on the form, whether you choose Home, Business, or Other. If you click the "Business..." button by the Address text box, the business address DOES show up in the Check Address dialog box. If you click the All Fields tab, and choose Address Fields, you can see the Business Address, etc. in that list. How do I make the address appear correctly in the Address text box on the form when the Contact is opened? TIA MarieJ

Empty Address text box Field on Contact Form
To which address box are you referring?
What you describe is how Contact Records behave in current Outlook versions. If your records were created on an earlier version and migrated, all bets are off, especially if you ever imported them. There is no setting you can use to change the behavior for existing Contacts. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "MarieJ" wrote in message ...

Empty Address text box Field on Contact Form
It is the address text box found on the bottom left of the General tab of the
Contact form. So you're saying the reason it's behaving like that is because the contact was created in an earlier version of Outlook.

Empty Address text box Field on Contact Form
FYI - I since I can't change behavior for existing contacts, I exported a few
of the contacts exhibiting that behavior and imported them back into Outlook and the address text box field is appearing correctly on the General tab of the contact form after re-importing.

Empty Address text box Field on Contact Form
No. I'm saying that Outlook already behaves the way you want. If it does
not, it indicates some change or corruption of your data or views, which most frequently occurs when you migrate data from one installation or version to another. Since only you know how these entries were created or migrated, only you have a clue as to where the problem may have occurred. Anytime you change versions or migrate data, it is essential that you repair your data file and create a new Outlook profile for things to work as they should. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "MarieJ" wrote in message ...
