Re: Where Have My e-Mail Contacts Gone?

Russ,
I am still not sure where to go next. When I go to Address Book / Tools
/Options I see
Show this address list first Contacts
When sending mail......following order Contacts
In other words I cannot see any means of setting a default folder.
More thoughts please.

I might have given you the wrong path for your version. If it's not there,
just open the address book view and go to Tools > Options... to set the
default display folder.

Russ,

Where do I go after change. The pop up box shows Outllook Address Book
Contacts New Personal Folders followed by a button with the label "Remove
Address Book". BTW New Personal Folders is my revised Profile.

Your advice is very welcme.

You need to set the address book view to display your Contacts Folder. If
you set it to display the Outlook Address Book it will be blank because
the
address book contains no entries, just the folders that contain the
entries.
Change the default display for the address book view here:
Tools > Account Settings > Address Book Tab > Outlook Address Book >
Change... >

Brian,

Set up a new profile and all is working fine. Many thanks. BUT a
further
question on the same subject of Address Books.

On my when I press the "to" button the address book is displayed but
unpopulated. When I type in ROBBIE in the search box all Robbies are
displayed. On my Laptop the adress book displays with all contacts
listed
and
when I type in ROBBIE the Robbies are listed. I am curious , why the
difference? I cannot see anoption button which will change the vew.

This morning on my PC when I pressed the “to” button on a new e-mail
my
contacts list did not show. It was fine last night as I sent an
e-mail
using
the “to” button just before shutting down.

I use Windows XP Home edition and recently upgraded to MS Office Pro
2007.
My Contacts are all displayed and when I right click the contacts
button and
look at Properties I note that the box is ticked alongside the words
“Show
this folder as an e-mail Address Book”. The tick box and words are
greyed
out.

You did something to damage your Outlook Address Book service.
Unfortunately,
Outlook 2007 doesn't allow you to fix it without creating a new mail
profile.
