I have installed Outlook 2007 and all of my contacts, folders, calendars,
emails, etc are there, but any time I try to send an email, NONE of my
contacts are coming up in the address book.  Can someone tell me how to have
all of those contacts recognized as addresses?

Did you configure Contacts in Outlook 2007 to be used as an Address Book?

In the folder list, right-click on Contacts. Scroll to properties. Click on
the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says " Show this folder as
an e-mail address book." Click OK.

Open a new e-mail and try again.

I have just tried what you have suggested, and it was looking like that would
be the place to configure, but when I go to folder list, right-click on
Contacts, and properties..the check box is gray and I cannot check it.  Any
other suggestions?  Thanks for your attempt to help me!

I have tried as you describe below, but when I get to the properties,
outlook address book tab, the option to check mark the box is in gray and I
cannot check mark it.  Any other suggestions?  I appreciate your help.

Did you create a new Outlook profile when you upgraded? It's recommended
since using an existing profile can cause some issues:
