Right click on the Contacts folder, choose Properties and go to the Outlook
Address Book tab and check the "Show this folder as an email address book"
box. See if that helps in your situation

My manager has a situation and he asked me for help.

He is running Outlook 2003. He recently got a new laptop. We reinstalled
Outlook. He is connecting to an exchange server. He has personal contacts
and
he can click on the option of "contact" and he will have a list of all his
previous entries of contacts.

Now what is odd is that if we go in the following options: Address book -
Show Names from the:

He does not have the option of selecting contacts.

So then within Address book we click on Tools - Options and we get the
adressing window. Within this window we are unable to add "Contact" in any
of
the options. Options such as "Keep personal addresses in:" and "When
sending
mail, check names using these address lists in the following order:"

Now the only thing I could guess is to manually point to the file that
contains his personal addresses within contact or something to the likes
of
that. Anyhow, I will be checking my email for replies so ask any
questions
and I will try to answer as quickly as possible.

TIA.
