Default Contacts not showing

Hi and thanks for the quick reply! Sorry, this was my first "post". I am
using Outlook 2003, and while searching their Help feature, I found the
solution. I needed to have a box checked on the Properties screen. That
said, I now have 2 listings of "Contacts" when I click on the "To" when
sending a new email. If I click on the first listing, there are no contacts
listed. When I click on the second listing, I see all my contacts. Not sure
how to eliminate the first listing.

The way I configured it was copying my pst file from my old computer's hard
drive (C:\Documents & Settings\[user name]\Local Settings\Application
data\Microsoft\Outlook) and then pasting it into the same folder on my new
computer. I just identified a solution by right clicking on the My Contacts,
going to Properties, and under Outlook Address Book, checked "Show this
folder as an email Address Book". It all seemed to work, with the exception
that I see two listings for Contacts and don't know how to eliminate the one
with no contact information.

I'm not using Autocompletion.

Hope this clarifies my posting :-) Thanks!!

Your post is too unclear. State your Outlook version.
State how you configured the Outlook Address Book.
State more clearly what you are doing when you think you should be seeing an
"address list" and what that means.
Recognize that if you are using autocompletion, it has nothing to do with
your Contacts. It uses a cache that you have not yet populated if this is a
new installation.

I successfully transferred my Outlook pst file from my old computer to my
new
computer. All folders and contacts appear. However, when I got to type a
new email, none of the contacts show in the address list. How do I get
them
to show up for me?
