Still no entries. Closed Outlook and restarted. 'Show this folder as

where I started?

Seems so. Without being able to see what you see and do at each step, I can't tell where the process may be failing.

Brian,
If it helps, one more observation.
I can open a New Message, type in 3-4 letters of a contact's name, hit 'CC:' and the name appears in Address Book with email address filled in. "Type ahead' doesn't finish the name but at least CC: can find it. However, if I type in 3-4 letters of a contact's name and hit 'Address Book,' Outlook can't find the email address.
How can CC: find the email address in Address Book when I type in a partial name, but Address Book seems to think it is empty?
