The Address Book is a filtered View of Contacts and only shows those that
have an electronic address / # eg email address, fax number

The structure of Address Books versus Contacts in Outlook has always been
a mystery to me and will continue to be forever it seems. I hesitate to
raise the topic again because it has been raised here so many times.

I write today to ask why my Contacts listing is different when I refer to
it using the "address book" icon at the top of an Outlook screen and
reference it using the Contacts button (for me, bottom left hand side my
Navigation Pane).

The "Contacts button" version, synched with my my cell phone, is generally
correct while the "addressbook icon" version has many entries missing. I
can actually enter a new contact and immediately not find it using the
rapid "icon" lookup but will find it it in "Contacts."

What's going on? More importantly, what can I do about it? Regards,
Denzil.
