Contacts Address book problem
My address book is not associated with my contacts. I have tried all of the
solutions I can find and none will work. Here are my specifics: In the Address Books tab of the Account Settings box, Outlook Address Book (type = MAPI) is listed. I cannot remove it as that option is dimmed. I also cannot add a new one as it already exists. If I select the Change option there, it is not listed. In the Outlook Address Book tab of the Contacts Properties box, "Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book" is also dimmed. In my Contacts view, I have three versions of the Contacts folder. They all appear to be the same (same size). How can I reassociate my address book with my Contacts? (If this is a clue, I believe I enabled Business Contact Manager after I had been using Outlook 2007 for a while.) Thanks very much!

Contacts Address book problem
I think you need to create a fresh profile in the Control Panel's Mail
applet to deal with the issue you're having... "Carol" wrote in message ... My address book is not associated with my contacts. I have tried all of the solutions I can find and none will work.

Contacts Address book problem
Okay, I did that. Did that create a new .pst file that I have to import my
existing inbox and contacts into? (Sorry, I'm hesitant to experiment too much for fear of screwing something else up. ) "Vince Averello" wrote: I think you need to create a fresh profile in the Control Panel's Mail applet to deal with the issue you're having...

You could just use your existing one instead of creating/copying/importing.
