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.

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,

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 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.

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

not.

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 http://thepcparamedics.com/default_files/addrissue.htm

Thanks for your time,

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.

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,

Then you are most likely selecting the "View or change existnig e-mail
accounts" radio button instead of the "View or change existing directories
or address books" radio button. Exchange will not show up if you chose the
correct radio button.
