enabling address books

Outlook 2007
Trying to get my contacts to show up in the Address Book (when I press CTRL-N and select 'Address Book').
Here is what I have. 3 folders (uncertain of the lingo) - Personal Folders, Husband's, Wife's.
When I go to Properties for each folder's Contacts folder and select the 'Outlook Address Book' tab, the 'Show this folder as an email address book' checked but grayed out in all three folders. (On one occasion I did find the checkbox for my wife's contacts ungrayed out (is that a phrase?) but don't know why.
Even on the occasion when my wife's address book should have been active, the address book was empty and is still empty.
How do I 'ungray' the 'Show this folder as an email address book' checkbox?
How do I get Contacts in all folders to show in Address Book?
