Help? Thanks for the helpful advice. Unfortunately I already tried that solution. There was no tab (not even a grayed out one) on the properties dialog box for Outlook. That was my first stumbling block. I eventually copied / pasted all the entries into my wifes @msn account; deleted my account; restarted; reinstalled my account; and the copied / pasted the contacts back to my account. This time everything worked and appeared where I expected it. So problem solved; except I still don't understand why the properties dialog box never gave me the tab that you (and all the MS FAQs) talk about? Thanks for the assistance Larry > If you have Contacts in the Contacts folder but they are not accessible when > you click on the To button, check these settings: [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > > > The Contact list appears just perfectly in the Contacts Window. Help? What is the account type? I noticed my MSN account (using the msn connector) doesn't have a tab.
