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, m "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ... Brian's solution is correct.

By the way, the solution has nothing to do with the "File As" field being
blank which was Russ Valentine's big contribution to the solution. There seems to be a bug where even if your contact entry has a legit 'Full Name', 'File as' and 'Email...' data it will show up as blank in the Address Book. I went through all of the contacts and added a bogus phone number (555-555-5555) to each contact that did not have one and this is what fixed the issue. So if you consider no phone number an 'ill-defined entry' then I guess you could say that Brian's advise at http://www.helpfeeds.com/showthread.php?t=24939 helped.

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