Hi and thanks for the quick reply! Sorry, this was my first "post".
I am using Outlook 2003, and while searching their Help feature, I
found the solution. I needed to have a box checked on the Properties
screen. That said, I now have 2 listings of "Contacts" when I click
on the "To" when sending a new email. If I click on the first
listing, there are no contacts listed. When I click on the second
listing, I see all my contacts. Not sure how to eliminate the first
listing.


Open the Address Book, click ToolsOptions, select the bad entry and clock
Remove. In Outlook, also click ToolsE-mail AccountsView or change
existing directories or address booksNext. Select Outlook Address Book,
click Change, and remove the bad entry there.

The way I configured it was copying my pst file from my old
computer's hard drive (C:\Documents & Settings\[user name]\Local
Settings\Application data\Microsoft\Outlook) and then pasting it into
the same folder on my new computer. I just identified a solution by
right clicking on the My Contacts, going to Properties, and under
Outlook Address Book, checked "Show this folder as an email Address
Book". It all seemed to work, with the exception that I see two
listings for Contacts and don't know how to eliminate the one with no
contact information.

I'm not using Autocompletion.

Hope this clarifies my posting :-) Thanks!!


Your post is too unclear. State your Outlook version.
State how you configured the Outlook Address Book.
State more clearly what you are doing when you think you should be
seeing an "address list" and what that means.
Recognize that if you are using autocompletion, it has nothing to do
with your Contacts. It uses a cache that you have not yet populated
if this is a new installation.

I successfully transferred my Outlook pst file from my old computer
to my new
computer. All folders and contacts appear. However, when I got to
type a new email, none of the contacts show in the address list.
How do I get them
to show up for me?
