Default Outlook Address Book

In Outlook, in a folder we have titled "Public Folder," I have a list called
"Contacts." How do I make that list show in the "Show names from the:"
function when I am choosing someone to send an email to. That "Contacts"
list does not show as a choice.

Bring up the Properties dialog for the folder and check the Outlook Address Book check box.

Properties and go to the Outlook Address Book tab and check the "Show this
folder as an email address book" box

Default Outlook Address Book

Hello Vince;

I have this same problem, however O/L 2007 will not allow me to check this
box. It is grayed out. All of my contacts (approx 400) are listed in the "My
Contacts" folder (which imported with the file and transfer wizard). I have
tried all of the suggested M/S help screen suggestions. None of them work.
Any ideas?
Thank You

It's best to stick with one thread.

Ron R.

I am having the same problem as you are. Did you find out how to enable that
box?

Thanks,
