I go to send a new email and click on "TO" then "Contacts" it does not list
any of my contacts.
I can not check box "Show this folder as an E-mail address book" in Contact
Properties. (Grayed out)
An E-Mail account was created Named "Personal Folders" Type "MAPI"
What is going on here??
WinXP & Office XP

Thanks

Tools | E-Mail Accounts | Add a new directory or address book | additional
address books | Outlook Address Book.

After you've added the Outlook Address Book to your profile go back to the
Contact folder properties and you should find that checkbox enabled.

Nope.  I had this same problem, and did what you
recommend.  The checkbox is still disabled.

Does the Outlook Address Book appear under Tools | E-Mail Accounts | View or
Change a Directory now?

But when you go to the Contacts folder, right-click it, properties, Outlook
Address Book tab you can't check the box for "show as e-mail address book?"

If so, try removing the Outlook Address Book from the profile, restart
Outlook, then re-add the Outlook Address Book.
