Okay, I tired that and I still can not get my contact address to show up in
the address book. I even tried exporting to a .pst file and import that and
still nothing shows up in the address book.

Diane,
Please forgive my ignorance but how do I set up another profile? I tried
uninstalling Outlook and then reload it but the same problem exists.

Thanx, Adam

If you have Contacts in the Contacts folder but they are not accessible

Make sure the Contact folder is enabled as an email address book. Right

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.

If you are using Outlook 2007 and the the checkbox is grayed, you'll need
to
make a new profile as you can't add the Outlook Address Book service due
to
a bug.

I installed Outlook 2007 on my computer and imported my addresses from
my
other computer's Outlook file with excel. The contact list shows all
the
addresses but I can not access the contact list when I try to send an
email.
The address book drop down menu does not show anything. I tried to do
the
"properties" on the contact file, selected the tab "Outlook Address
Book"
and
I am not allowed to check the box to "Show this folder as an address
book".
I am hoping someone can help me get this resolved. Thank you in

I am having the same problem, with Outlook 2007. Yes I have added a new
profile, but when I try to add my contact folder (not through import/export)
it already shows one there that has no actual contact info in it, but the
option to "remove" the Outlook Address book is greyed out, and when I try to
add new I can choose Outlook Address book, or Mobile Address Book, and when I
pick Outlook it says I can't add one because I already have one. I can't
enable the email address book to begin with which is why I tried the New
profile but it didn't solve the problem either... I've been scouring the
internet trying to find another suggested fix besides "enable the email
address book" or create a new profile....if anyone knows of another way to
fix this or work around the issues I am having let me know.
