Outlook has not used a PAB for over a decade. They are not supported in
Outlook 2007, nor is there even backwards compatibility for PAB's as there
were in earlier versions.
Are you certain these are PAB's? Why haven't you converted them to Contacts
Folders?

OK - sorry I was not more clear. I have had three or four personal
address
books in the past, which I can see in my Outlook 2007 view.

If I click on the "Contacts" bar on the left side of the screen, listed
under "My Contacts" I can see several items named "Contacts in... PAB".
Each of my PABs has a few different groups (Contacts, Business People, Dog
People, etc. ) Each of these has a little business-card looking icon to
the
left of it. (Maybe these are not 'lists' but that is what I called them
in
my first post since I don't know the technical term.)

However if I draft an email in Outlook, and request that it check names,
it
will not look in those address books to find the email address I want.
Does
this make sense? Is there a way I can ask Outlook to look in all those
address books each time I create an email or is there something else I
need
to do?

Your term "Contact List" has no meaning. Define it for us.

I have several contact lists that I've accumulated over the years.
Problem-
I can see all these contact lists inside of Outlook, but when I go to
send
an
e-mail to one of my contacts, Outlook will not look inside all of the
contact
lists to find the person I am looking for.

I am using Windows Vista and Outlook 2007. Is there a way for Outlook
to
go
look at these contact lists automatically?

Thanks in advance -
