There's a search field in outlook 2003 just for contacts. It says
"Type a Contact to Find". But it never ever finds anything and keeps
saying "outlook could not find the requested contact"

How do i get this to work? I want to find contacts in the same pstther
file that is open in outlook.

I know it is not pointing to the correct pst file but instead to
something called "address book".

Could you please tell me how to set this straight?
