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,

Did you try resetting the view?

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.

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

Do you have any contacts whose "File as" field is blank?

No. None of the "File as" fields are blank.

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

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.

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?
