Re: Where Have My e-Mail Contacts Gone?

Russ,
I did not configure my address book view in a specified way. All I know is
that when I go to Address Book / Tools
/Options I see
Show this address list first Contacts
When sending mail......following order Contacts configure my address book
view.
Would this unusual sequence of events be caused by setting up a new profile?
See my first question, Brian’s answer and my second question.

I can't offer any suggestion until you tell me how you configured your
address book view. If you set it to display the folder that contains your
Contacts first, then you will see those Contacts immediately when you open
the address book view.

Russ,
Thanks for your speedy response. However, my addess book is still NOT
populated when I click the "to" button. When I enter a first or last name
and
press the "go" button the corresponding names appear. The address book
used
to be populated and I would prefer to return to this view (but not
essential)
rather than view an empty box.
Any more suggestions.

That's what "Show this address list first Contacts" does!
It tells the address book view which folder to display as its default.

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.
