MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2006Adding/ Deleting Address Books
I have Outlook 2002. I have just had a "start of the year cleanout" of my outlook files, archiving emails, tasks and contacts etc. I now seem to have two contacts lists - one which is accessed from the contacts folder or outlook toolbar, and one which as accessed from the From, To, CC, BCC buttons when composing an email. I would appreciate some help in reducing this so both methods point to the same address list. Thanks Ian You'll need to provide at least some information. A "start of the year cleanout" tell us nothing about what you did. Nor are Contacts ever archived unless you did so manually (in which case you most likely created another Contacts Folder). There is no address book in Outlook. The address book is merely a view of your Contacts Folders. It is not possible to display Contacts in your address book that do not also exist in one of your Contacts Folders. Use Folder List view to see how many Contacts Folders you now have. That might give you a clue as to what's going on.

I now have - names in my contacts folder, which I can acccess and send mail to as you would expect - no names in the "Select Names" dialogue when I click the To button from a new email. From the further reading that I have done, it appears that the contacts folder has fallen out of my address book. Many thanks Ian > You'll need to provide at least some information.

Did you enable it as an email address book? Go to Tools > E-mail accounts > View or change existing directories or address books > Outlook Address Book > Change.Do you see your new Contacts Folder listed there?
