After migrating to office 2007 from Office 2003, the check box to "Show
folder as e-mail address book" is unavailable. How can I correct this?

Thanks, Mike

Most likely you can't. How did you migrate your data? If you did an in place
upgrade of Office without taking care to migrate your data separately, your
profile is corrupt. Create a new one.

Add the Outlook Address Book to your mail profile or, if it's there already,
remove it and re-add it. Do this with Outlook closed via the Mail applet in
Control Panel.

Brian,
There's a bug in Outlook 2007. You can no longer remove the Outlook Address
Book service and re-add it to repair the service. All you can do is create a
new profile.

I haven't explicitly tried that in my copy of OL 2007. What a bummer.

Yeah. We were thrilled to discover that one.

Thank you for this posting! I have been trying for a month to figure out why
after getting my new machine with Vista & MS Office 2007 then migrating my
datafiles/setting from old machineto new one that the Outlook Address Book
was grayed out and I could not link my contacts to my address book. A support
person at Microsoft said I did not move my csv file and that was why I could
not get my address book to work even through I could see the contacts in my
contact list. It did not make sense to me so I started web research on this
issue and finally cam on your answer. My question is if I delete the current
profile and add a new one to make the Outlook Address Book visible, can I
still use the same information from the old profile for the new one and
import my old pst file?
