Still no luck and a new problem. I have Outlook 2007 with Vista Home Premium.
Under Tools, Account Settings, Address Book, my addrss book is listed. Under
file, folder, properties, "Show this folder an an e-mail address book" is
checked. However, the command is not active, nor is the apply button.
Still, when I click on "to" when sending an e-mail, the recipient's is there
but in some cases, the e-mail address is not, even though the e-mail address
of the recipient is in my contact folder.
The new problem, is now when I click on "to", my address book does not open,
but I get a search screen instead.
One last item, I asked to be notified of replies to this post. I was.
However, clicking on the link just gave me a blank page. I had to go back to
the community to find my post to respond to you.

Thanks

In my contact folder, I have e-mail addresses for my contacts. When I
open
my mail folder to send a new message and click on the address book icon ,
my
contact list opens, but many of the contacts are missing their e-mail
address. I ran a test by sending an e-mail to a contact who did not have
her
address showing and it never left my outbox. The e-mail address was not
there. Any solutions to getting my complete contacts to open?
