Dear Outlook Gurus,

Please Help - I have viewed other postings on your community regarding
similar issues to this, and are getting nowhere fast!

When I create a new email and click the To: button (in Outlook 2003 running
under Windows XP), we don't see contacts. When I right-click the Contacts
folder and choose properties, the "Show this folder as an email address
bbook" option is grayed out.

I have tried the following suggestions in other postings:

(i) accessed Tools, Email Options command and added Outlook Address Book and
Personal Address Book (get message that it already exists). Exited Outlook
and returned - no change.
(ii) accessed Tools, Email Options and changed existing Address Books -
removed Outlook Address Book and then re-added. Exited Outlook and returned
- no change

Both times I still could not access the Contacts Properties option which is
greyed out. Any suggestions for anything else I could try??

Regards
