"Show this folder as as e-mail Address Book" is greyed out
I just updated to Win7 with a clean install and reinstalled Office 2007. I
restored the Outlook.pst file using Easy transfer. All emails and accounts are present but ALL my Contact folders do not display as Address Books. In all the Contact Folders the "Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book" is greyed out -- Kent

Nice to know that Windows Easy Transfer remains broken even in Windows 7.
Kudos to Microsoft. -- Russ Valentine "Kent" wrote in message ... Nervermind.

Create a new mail profile and attach the existing pst file to it. Do NOT use WET in future to transfer data from one Outlook to another.

Kent did do the research. Like most of us, he probably found the answer
right after he posted the question. -- Russ Valentine "Gordon" wrote in message ... "Kent" wrote in message ... I just updated to Win7 with a clean install and reinstalled Office 2007.

Time for someone else to do a little research. It's hardly a secret. Can you

"Show this folder as as e-mail Address Book" is greyed out
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. If you are using Outlook 2007 and the the checkbox is grayed, you'll need to make a new profile as you can't add the Outlook Address Book service due to a bug. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: Do you keep Outlook open 24/7?

"Show this folder as as e-mail Address Book" is greyed out
Apparently the profile is corrupted and the steps you are suggesting - while
they SHOULD work - don't  . I have multiple email accounts in my profile and so creating a new one - which seems to be the only way around it once the transfer program breaks things - is a bit of work. Oh well. ...
