I think there's a conspiracy working against us here, Mike. Indeed, you did
only post one mistake, but it took things in a completely different
direction and unfortunately Microsoft's news servers are not well synched
right not and I never saw your correction. So I still never knew what
information store or addressing service you were using--hence, my question.
I'm still puzzled by the resolution you've discovered. You are 100% correct
that a Contact should not have to have a phone number to appear correctly in
the Outlook Address Book. I know of no such "bug." Any electronic address
that is resolved will be sufficient to create an entry in the Outlook
Address Book. I have another theory. There are a number of things that can
break the resolution between a name and its electronic address: importing or
synchronizing Contacts are the most common. When that happens, simply
opening and saving that Contact will usually re-establish the resolution and
allow that Contact to appear correctly in the address book view. It may be
that opening and saving the Contact Record is what fixed this, not adding
the phone number. Removing and re-adding the addressing service will
accomplish the same thing if you have several Contacts involved. Did you try
that? That's the suggestion of Brian's that I said should work.

Hey Russ,
I'm not sure if you are taking reality altering drugs but by my score I've
made one inacurate statement based on an honest mistake. I clicked the
wrong radio button. You can be sure I won't be bothering you for any
additional "help".
Best of luck,

Brian's solution is correct. Forgive me, but the information you've
posted is more often wrong than right. State what you actually tried and
what happened. This is not an "attitude." It is simple reality.

This http://www.helpfeeds.com/showthread.php?t=24939 is the same issue I
am having. I get the same "invalid ENTRYID was passed in" error when I
try to select Properties. Brian's solution on the thread does not
resolve the issue for me. I first noticed the problem shortly after
installing the activesync software that came with my PocketPC phone.
I'm not sure if it is related to the issue but might be. I will
uninstall the software and see if it makes a difference.

I made a mistake. I said Outlook Address book did not exist under "view
or change..." I think I was looking at "View or change existing email
accounts" instead of "view or change existing directories or address
books". Stupid oversight on my part. I appologize. When I go to "view
or change existing dirs.." and select "outlook address book" I have one
address book listed. "Contacts: Mailobox - mike" Show names by First
Last (John Smith) is selected.
Does this help?
Thanks,

But you said you got a list of your Contacts. If so, then you would
have to be using the Outlook Address Book, yet now you claim you are
not.
Can you at least tell us exactly what list you are displaying? You
need to be accurate when conveying information.

Russ,
Please. The attitude is not necessary. To be clear, I said "When I
click the Address Book button on the Outlook 2003 toolbar, I get a
list of my Contacts." This is 100% correct and I'm not attempting to
send anybody on a "wild goose chase." As I indicated and linked to
previously, I'm clicking the address book icon in the outlook 2003
toolbar. When I do this it pulls up a window with the title "Address
Book" as you can see at the link from my earlier post he

Thanks for your time,

Then its high time you at least tell us what address book you are
using instead of leading us on this wild goose chase. You said you
were using the Address Book in Outlook that showed your Contacts
Folder. Obviously you are not.

I was using OE as an EXAMPLE only. Obviously, it is a different
program and has nothing to do with my Outlook 2003 issue.
I don't have Outlook address book listed under "View or change...",
just Microsoft Exchange Server.

"Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message

Of course there is. OE has nothing to do with this. This is
Outlook you are asking about, right? Just look:
Go to Tools E-mail accounts View or change existing
directories or address books Outlook Address Book Change.
What is your sort order?

I see no method in the address book to sort by field.
Clicking on 'Name', 'Display Name', 'E-mail Address', etc. does
not sort like your typical grid view.
For example, the outlook express address book alows you to click
on a colum header to set sorting but the address book applet
instantiated by the Outlook 2003 toolbar button doesn't have that
functionality.

Determine the sort field you set for the Outlook Address Book.
Look for Contacts in which that field is blank.

Okay. So how do I get rid of the empty rows? I have no
apparent empty Contacts in the contacts folder.

"Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in

The Address Book view contains no data is not an interface in
which you should ever try to edit or manipulate data. You only
do that in the Contacts Folder where the data resides.

When I click the Address Book button on the Outlook 2003
toolbard, I get a list of my Contacts. At the top, there are
6 blank rows before my first contact is displayed. I've
tried to delete the rows by hitting the Del button while
having one or more of these blank rows displayed. When I do
this, a "Are you sure that you want to..." dialog box
appears, so I click Yes but nothing is deleted.
What be up with Dat? How do I get rid of the empty rows?
Thanks,
