It would be better if you posted your Outlook version.

went thru the steps untill i got to this one:

3. On the Outlook Address Book tab, click to select Show this folder as an
e-mail address book, type a descriptive name, and then click OK.

"show this folder as an e-mail address book" is greyed out and the check box
next to it doesn't work.

btw thanks for your help & time.

As the article tells you, you must add the Outlook Address Book Service to
your profile first.

my contacts, and go to the address book tab, the option appears greyed
