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

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, -m |

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? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Mike" wrote in message ... I see no method in the address book to sort by field.

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. -m "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ... Of course there is.

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.

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

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 Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Mike" wrote in message ... Russ, Please. The attitude is not necessary.

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, m "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ... But you said you got a list of your Contacts.

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. -- Brian Tillman |
