Adding Outlook contacts to email address book.
I am attempted to add my contacts to the address book by going to address
book on the toolbar under tools. Then clicked tools and options - attempted the click the down arrow choose contacts - but that is not listed. I have also clicked onto properties on Contacts - clicked onto the Outlook address tab - but the option to show this as an email address book is greyed out. It would be nice to be able to click on to New message and then click the To: box and see all my contacts, but nothing is in there. I am able to click onto the contact itself and choose to create new mail. Please help. Thanks. Help.

Exactly how is Outlook version-specific and you decided to keep that information secret. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

Adding Outlook contacts to email address book.
If you have Contacts in the Contacts folder but they are not accessible when
you click on the To button, check these settings: Make sure the Contact folder is enabled as an email address book. Right click the Contacts folder, choose Properties then Outlook Address Book. Is the box to enable as email address book is checked? If this is grayed out... Go to Tools | Email Accounts, choose View or change existing directories or address book. Is the Outlook Address Book present? If it isn't listed, add it and close and restart Outlook. If it is listed, then remove it and close then restart Outlook and repeat these steps to add it. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: "Karla" Karla @discussions.microsoft.com wrote in message ...

Adding Outlook contacts to email address book.
I have the same problem as these other folks, and am in the situation where
the outlook address book is listed in the account settings; however, the remove button is grey and therefore I can not follow the suggestion to remove it and then to add it back. So both the "Enable Contacts " as an outlook address book and the remove outlook address book are greyed out.

Adding Outlook contacts to email address book.
Would you like us to guess your Outlook version, or will you tell us?
I'm going to guess you have Outlook 2007, in which case you corrupted your profile and must create a new one. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Craig" wrote in message ...

Adding Outlook contacts to email address book.
Diane,
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I thought I was going to have to manually re-enter all of my contacts. Your advice worked to a tee.

Adding Outlook contacts to email address book.
Did you mean to repost someone else's question or did you have one of your
own? If the latter, post it with sufficient detail, including your Outlook version. You enable folders to appear in the Outlook address book in the properties of the folder, not the address book interface. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Seascale" wrote in message ...
