With some great help from this site...!(Thanks) I have reinstalled a clean
version of OL2007 back to my computer after recovering the C: drive. All seems well with PST but I cant get my old "Contacts" (That I guess that came with "copied" PST) to show as defalt when I want to choose an e-mail address from my contacts. If I click the "To box" I get offered under address book a balnk contacts called "Accounts" If I click the down arrow my contacts are there and if I double click they are live. How can I make them the default. I have right clicked the properties tab on the contacts box as I read, and then the Outlook show this address book as an e-mail address book, but the check box is greyed out. Any ideas how I can fix this please? Many thanks Andy. |

Any ideas how I can fix this please? With Outlook 2007, this is a fairly sure sign that you did not set up your mail profile properly and the Outlook Address Book service connection to your PST is damaged. Start with a new profile and set it up properly. See this: http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/newprofile.htm -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
