Have Outlook 2007 as part of Office Pro 2007 with Vista Ultimate. I
notice that the Address Book is actually the 'Outlook Contacts'. If I
go to enter/save a new entry, it will not allow me to use the drop
down box and put it in "Outlook Address Book". So there are no
entries in the OAB and everything is in Contacts.

You misunderstand the purpose of the Outlook Address Book. ALL Outlook
address data is held in the Contacts folder - that is where you add,
edit and delete Contact information.
ALL the Addressbook is, is a view of your contacts folder for the
purposes of adding a recipient to an email. THAT IS ALL IT DOES.
Therefore you are quite correct in saying that you can't add addresses
to the Addressbook view - that needs to be done in CONTACTS.

HTH

Thanks. So why is the "Outlook Address Book" even mentioned? You don't
add new addresses in there?
