Default Addresses in contacts folder not in address book

Windows 2000
Office 2000
All service packs installed

I have names and addresses in my contacts folder but none in my address
book. When I try to use address book the "Show Names In" is blank with no
options to select the "Contacts" folder.

You need to post a more accurate account of your version: include your mail
support mode (line 2 of Help | About if you don't know).

That doesn't fit. Internet Mail Only does not use the Outlook Address Book
and contains no "Show Names From" box. It uses the Windows Address Book.
Describe again what you see in the Address Book view.

In the Contacts folder the names and email addresses are there. The Outlook
address book is empty. I hope I am explaining this correctly.

You are, but you aren't using the Outlook Address Book in that version. You
are using the Windows Address Book so the problem is not with Outlook.
That's why it makes no sense that you said the Address Book has a "Show
Names From" dropdown. Only the Outlook Address Book has that, not the
Windows Address Book. Please verify which version you are really using by
looking at Help | About in the _Address Book_ this time, not the application
itself.
