MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2005Contacts not appearing in e-mail
I recently re-installed Windows XP and Office 2003 on my computer. When I started up Outlook, I connected to my original PST file and deleted the empty "default" file that Outlook created when I first started it. Everything appears fine except that when I compose a message, and click the "To:" button to pull an address up from my contacts, my contacts do not appear. The only option in the "Show names from the:" drop box is "Outlook Address Book" and that is empty. My contacts ARE there, I can open them up and view them. Any ideas? Dave Bring up the Properties dialog for your Contacts folder and make sure the Outlook Address book box is checked.

Thanks Sue! I wonder why that isnt set by default? What is the use of having contacts if you cant access them?

Outlook does not show secondary contacts folders in the OAB unless you explicitly add them, and that was a secondary contacts folder before you changed the default delivery store.
