MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / June 2006can't see contacts when clicking "to" in new mail message
All the contacts are there in the contacts section. however they don't appear when clicking the "to" field while writing a new message. Any help is much appreciated. It would be better if you posted your Outlook version. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;287563&Product=ol2002  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > All the contacts are there in the contacts section. however they don't > appear > when clicking the "to" field while writing a new message.

I did that. i started at the top of the article and worked my way down to this step. the outlook address book service was not there. it is now. i have restarted not only outlook but the entire pc before going to the next step of marking the contacts folder. that's the bit that didn't work. everything above that worked just like the article said. > As the article tells you, you must add the Outlook Address Book Service to > your profile first.

Those steps always work, but they require a restart of Outlook. Yours may not have been exiting properly or completely, especially since it was the beta.
