I did follow the instructions (in the link that you posted). The first time
that I followed those instructions were when they were posted for another person.I read them, I followed them. Twice. Sometimes Instructions do not work and the reason needs to be troubleshooted. That is why I am turning to this forum. I am trying to understand what it is that I am doing wrong. To do this I have asked a couple of questions to try to figure out what I am doing wrong. Here is one in response to a statement that you made... You never use the address book view to create anything or to enter any data. I'm not. (not this time around anyway). In the past I have done that. After all, there is a "new contact" command in the address book. QUESTION: So, in the future, when I want to add a contact I need to do so through the contact button on the left side instead of within the address book at the top, do I have that right? The answer to this may stop future problems. The important question....here are your instructions and my responses after attempting them... As I said, you enter all data in the Contacts Folder. Then you configure the address book view to display that folder: I have what I think is that very folder....located on the left lower pane between "tasks" and "calender". Is that right? http://support.microsoft.com/default...Product=ol2002 I have followed the above instructions and created a new address book. Now I am told to "mark my contact folder for use with my address book" I have done that. Now, I have a new address book listed under" Outlook Address Book" in the address book drop- down. How do I now get the info from the "Contacts" button (over on the left between Tasks and Calender) into this new address book without re-typing all of the information? I have gone through these steps 3 times now and I cannot get it to work. Following the instructions does not work. I need help with troubleshooting the problem. Microsoft documentation is not helping. I'm sorry that Russ is getting frustrated. Is there someone reading this that has come upon this same problem that has found a resolution?

Any electronic addresses that you have entered in your Contacts Folder will
appear in your address book view. If they are not, then you haven't followed the instructions correctly. You have not posted enough for us to tell what you are doing wrong. Check some basics: 1. Have you entered electronic addresses in your Contacts Folder and are they resolved (underlined)? 2. Are you selecting the correct Contacts Folder to view in the address book? You may have more than one listed there from your previous unsuccessful efforts. Make sure you are looking at the one into which you have entered data. 3. Have you restarted Outlook since creating and designating a Contacts Folder? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Danny" wrote in message ... I did follow the instructions (in the link that you posted).

Well that would depend the view to which you are referring. The "left pane"
is the Navigation Pane, and any button there that says "Contacts" will take you to the view of your Contacts Folders.

The first time that I followed those instructions were when they were posted for another person.I read them, I followed them. Twice. Sometimes Instructions do not work and the reason needs to be troubleshooted. That is why I am turning to this forum. I am trying to understand what it is that I am doing wrong. To do this I have asked a couple of questions to try to figure out what I am doing wrong. Here is one in response to a statement that you made... You never use the address book view to create anything or to enter any data. I'm not. (not this time around anyway). In the past I have done that. After all, there is a "new contact" command in the address book. QUESTION: So, in the future, when I want to add a contact I need to do so through the contact button on the left side instead of within the address book at the top, do I have that right? The answer to this may stop future problems. The important question....here are your instructions and my responses after attempting them... As I said, you enter all data in the Contacts Folder. Then you configure the address book view to display that folder: I have what I think is that very folder....located on the left lower pane between "tasks" and "calender". Is that right? http://support.microsoft.com/default...Product=ol2002 I have followed the above instructions and created a new address book. Now I am told to "mark my contact folder for use with my address book" I have done that. Now, I have a new address book listed under" Outlook Address Book" in the address book drop- down. How do I now get the info from the "Contacts" button (over on the left between Tasks and Calender) into this new address book without re-typing all of the information? I have gone through these steps 3 times now and I cannot get it to work. Following the instructions does not work. I need help with troubleshooting the problem. Microsoft documentation is not helping. I'm sorry that Russ is getting frustrated. Is there someone reading this that has come upon this same problem that has found a resolution?
