I am running Outlook 2007/Vista. After having transferred from Outlook2003/xp
the address book seems to be empty.
If I look in “Contacts� all the entries are there. If I key anything in the
To field Outlook comes up with correct suggestions. If I Click the To button
the list is empty and the Address Book dropdown is empty.
In Folder List - Contacts - Outlook Address Book “Show this folder as an
email Address Book� is grayed out and not selected.

In Account Settings - Address Books I have an Outlook Address Book (Type
MAPI)

Hi Jan,

this site is for Outlook 2002 and 2003 but in 2007 the settings are the
same:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...Product=ol2002


Click to select View or change existing directories or address books, and
then click Next.

If your Outlook Address Book is listed delete it first, then restart Outlook
and add it again.

There is one entry, but I cannot remove it

Every user of Outlook has the right to delete his "Outlook Addressbook".

I have exactly the same problem and the fix that Oliver suggested does not
work. (see the thread

While I am glad to hear that I am not alone, I'm still searching for an
answer.

Is it possible that the I don't have the appropriate permission to
modify/delete the address book? I used "Easy Transfer" to move the data from
my old system to the new one BUT my username on the new system is different
from the new one.

Hi JimmyMac,

As you said, it is always nice to known that I am not the only "stupid" one
around.
In my case i am an administrator user on Vista and i think i did the same.
On my old xp system I transferred the user to the Vista system. I think that
it somehow corrupted the data. I am thinking of creating an extra PST file.
Remove my current PST file. If that is a succes, add my current file again,
move everything to the new file (and then remove the old file).

Let me know if you get any success.
Jan

See the other thread. The only way to transfer Outlook data successfully has
always been and remains: copy the Outlook data file and open it in your new
Outlook profile. Then either copy what you want from it or set it to be the
default file for your new profile.

I am having this same problem using Outlook 2007 and Vista.

Every user of Outlook has the right to delete his "Outlook
Addressbook".

This doesn't seem to be possible for me. The "Remove" button is grayed
out so I can't remove it. I also cannot select any of the contacts
lists as Outlook Address Books.

I have otherwise followed the advice on this thread, but I am not able
to remove/add back the address book.

I've tried running Outlook in safe mode and I've tried running as
administrator, but neither works.
