Default Finding contacts in Outlook Web Access

I have created a number of contacts but when I use the Find Names tool I
always get 'No entries were found', no matter how much information I supply
about the contact I'm seeking.

Default Finding contacts in Outlook Web Access

Repost to an Exchange group as OWA is not a part of Outlook, but Exchange.

When you do, be sure to specify your version of Exchange and what is the
default address book for searching (5.5 is always the GAL)

Default Finding contacts in Outlook Web Access

Sorry to be so dim but I don't know what version of Exchange I am using! When
I am logging on to BT Business Email to check my emails I sign in to a screen
which is headed
Microsoft Office
Outlook Web Access
Provided by Microsoft Exchange Server 2003

Once I have logged in I get a screen headed
Microsoft Web Access - Microsoft Internet Explorer (I'm using version 6 of
that).

I can view my emails, reply to them, insert contact data, create folders,
create groups of email addresses etc. What I can't do is get the Find Names
facility to work!

You just told me - Exchange 2003. Now try posting to the Exchange group.
(Hint, there should be a dropdown window where you can select your address
book.)

Milly
I have solved the problem. Thanks very much for your patience. I eventually
realised that I needed to go to BT and they were able to put me on the right
track
