MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / September 2006Why can't I enter email addresses in Contacts in the By Catgory?
I cannot enter or edit email address. I am trying to enter a large amount of data and I have Outlook Contacts in the Category View to enter them quickly, but I cannot seem to enter any information in the "email" field. That's a Table view. Have you enabled in-cell editing?  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] >I cannot enter or edit email address.

How do you check if you have in-cell editing enabled? I can tell you that I can enter all of the other information into the table. I enter name, phone number, mobil etc. However, I cannot enter email. Also, I cannot edit emails that I have already entered in the "new contacts" > That's a Table view.

While viewing Contacts, right-click in a blank portion of the viewinging pane and choose "Customize Current View". Select Other Settings and examine the box labeled "Allow in-cell editing". SignatureBrian Tillman In-cell editing was checked and I can edit all the fields EXCEPT the email field. When I try to enter in that field, I get the "bong" error tone. > > How do you check if you have in-cell editing enabled? > > While viewing Contacts, right-click in a blank portion of the viewinging > pane and choose "Customize Current View".

That makes sense, because the email field is not a simple text field like the others, but a combination of three different properties for each email address. You'll need to open the contact to change the email address.
