Hello Folk,

I am running Windows Small Business Server 2003 with Exchange 2003 (no
service packs as yet) and I added a new user a couple of days ago. So far so
good ...

I then logged in as the new user on a Windows Xp (Service Pack 2) machine an
start Outlook 2003 ... everything still seems OK.

I then go to the Contacts and right click on 'Properties' and select the
'Outlook Address Book' tab to select the 'Show this folder as an e-mail
address book' check box, only to find it is disabled (so I can't do it).

If I go to my computer and login as me, it all works fine, I just can't find
anything which suggests how to fix this !!

Anybody got any ideas ... Thanking you in anticipation,

Alex R. Arney

Tools>E-mail Accounts>Add a new directory or address book>Next>Additional
Address Books>Next. Select Outlook Address Book, click Next, set your
display order, and click Finish. Stop and restart Outlook.
