MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / March 2006Contact folder as default address book
Outlook 2003 How do I make my contact folder teh default address book when I click "TO" in a new message? right now "Personal Address Book" is the default and it is empty First off, you can remove the Personal Address Book from your profile since it's obsolete now and has been for a while. Remove it here: Control Panel > Mail applet > Email Accounts > View/Change existing directories / address books > Click Next Remove it should make the Outlook Address Book the default since it should be the only one left > Outlook 2003 > How do I make my contact folder teh default address book when I click "TO" > in a new message? right now "Personal Address Book" is the default and it > is > empty There are NO address boks listed there. There is also no addresses available in teh "To" button in a new mail message. How do I get my address book in the correct location?

Now the Outlook Address Bok appears but it is empty. How do I get my addresses to show? They are visible in 'contacts'.

Right click on the Contacts folder, choose Properties, go to the Outlook Address Book tab and make sure the "Show this folder as an email address book" box is checked. > Ok. I did that.

When I imported the Outlook Data file from the laptop everything was there except for the subfolders in my contacts. I have 12 subfolders in contacts that appear in my laptop. I copied the Outlook data file from the laptop to the desktop after I formated that disc on the desktop.Curious that the rest of the data is there.

Thanks Every contacts folder must be enabled as an address book individually.  SignatureBrian Tillman Well yeah--except that they do not appear anywhere. Where might they be so I can enable them as an address books individually? > > Ok -that worked. Thanks. I still have a problem however.

Do you still have the PST file from the laptop? If so, open it using the File menu > Open > Outlook Data File command and poke around it to see where all your data may be. Then drag/drop what you need from one to the other. > Well yeah--except that they do not appear anywhere. Where might they be so > I > can > enable them as an address books individually? I do still have the pst file on my laptop. How do I open it? When I "File menu > Open > Outlook Data File command " I am asked what program to use to open this file. Nothing seems to work. I have never 'poked around' in a PST file. Your thoughts? thx > Do you still have the PST file from the laptop?

You should already be in Outlook when you follow the command path I mentioned. You shouldn't be asked which program to use to open the file. >I do still have the pst file on my laptop.

Your thoughts? WEll, I ended up copy/pasting all of the contacts from my 13 address lists onto a flash drive and moving them to the desktop. IT worked and all is in order. Thanks for the help. I just don't understand why those addresses did not appear with the rest of the data when I imported the pst file. > You should already be in Outlook when you follow the command path I > mentioned.
