MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / September 2006how come my contacts don't show up in the to field
When I want to send a message to someone, and click on the "to" field to insert their name, outlook cannot find their name - yet their name shows up in the contacts list. What am I doing wrong? Some names appear, but most don't. Thanks. Outlook version? Outlook Address Book Service installed and configured?

Tools->Options->Mail Setup->Accounts->Directories->View or Change. Select the Address Book service and click remove. Back up one step and re-install it. Close and restart Outlook.

I'll keep trying to find an answer :-) > You may have to remove and reinstall the Outlook Address Book service, especially if this was an upgrade from Outlook 2000 IMO. > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > ||| their name shows up in the contacts list.
