Thank you in advence this is a follow up to this question: I have now deleted some address books and unfortunalely my msn is was one of them so i have no more msn addresses. i did have a back up of my outlook contacts which reinstalled and they are fine. the only problem is, how do i get to them. they only show up when i cllick on the contact folder under the calender. when i click on the 'to' in an email the only thing that shows up is personal address book and there is nothing in there. how can i access my outlook contacts and make it my default. ------------- any ideas on the msn address book. thank you Right click on the Contacts folder under your MSN folder list, choose Properties, go to the Outlook Address Book tab and check the "Show this folder as an email address book" box. > this is a follow up to this question: > I have now deleted some address books and unfortunalely my msn is was one [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > msn > address book. thank you > Right click on the Contacts folder under your MSN folder list, choose > Properties, go to the Outlook Address Book tab and check the "Show this [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Thank you but the problem is that there is no contact folder under the msn folder list and i can't locate it excetp to open up the contact tab on the bottom under calender. the contact folder does not show up otherwise. when i go to the contact folder and go to address bood the option of show this folder as an address book greyed out.

You've got to remove the Personal Address Book service where you saw it since you don't need it and add the Outlook Address Book service. That should enable the check box we're talking about > yes when i go to tools/email settings/ view or change address books and > then [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > the > name of the address book greyed out. You are dead right. Thank you so much and i mean that.
