Re: Outlook Contacts and Personal Address Book

I'll explain the best I can; Outlook Version 2003 edition (11.8217.8221) SP3.
When I click on Address Book a window pops up that says Address Book. In
the right drop down window the caption says; Show Names from the: and in the
Window is say "Personal Address Book" nothing is in there right now. You
are saying Outlook hasn't used Personal Address Book, well then why is the
default window Show "Personal Address Book"? Puzzling. I have one contact
in my contacts folder. When I right clicked on the folder and went to
properties, Outlook Address Book, I wanted to select show this folder as an
Outlook Address Book only problem is everything is grayed out. Outlook is
not letting me select anything. Is there a way to reset Outlook to the
default settings, maybe it's corrupted or something.

You've posted no relevant information. This much I can tell you. Outlook has
not used a Personal Address Book for over a decade. Why your profile
contains a PAB only you can explain. The PAB has been replaced by the
Outlook Address Book.

If you need help in a newsgroup, please post relevant information like your
Outlook version, how you have configured your Outlook Address Book, and why
your profile still contains a PAB.

When creating a new email, when I click on To: a window pops up which
appears
to be my Personal Address Book. Right now, I have nothing in there. When
I
click on the down arrow I noticed my Contact folder does not show up. I
do
have contacts in my Contacts folder but the folder in not available for
some
reason. The other thing that baffles me is how do you enter personal
address
into your Personal Address Book without having to do it manually? I would
think you would be able to right click on the email address in your inbox
and
assign it to either the Contacts Folder or the Personal Address Book which
you can't. I don't understand the difference between your Personal
Address
Book and the Contacts, it seems redundant to me. I guess what I want to
know, is how do I get my Contacts folder to show up when clicking on the
To:
when sending a new email. Very Wierd.
