MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / February 2007Local Address book not listed
Sending an email to multiple distribution lists from my local contact folder. issue: When I try to pull a contact list from my local contacts (in the "TO" field of a new message) - I am unable to choose from the dropdown "show names from the" - it's not there... and when I got to the "Share my contacts" option - the "Outlook Address" tab is grayed out and I am unable to select contacts. Is there a work-around for this? Hopefully my description is enough... What is the "Share my Contacts" option? What version of Outlook are you using and how did you configure the Outlook Address Book?

Hopefully my description is enough... Outlook 2003 I tried to detail it... sorry. On the left hand column - there is the "share your contacts" option - if you click that... you get a multi-tab box. One of the tabs is "Outlook address" - click that and if you check this box (which is grayed out for me) - then you'll be able to select your local contacts when you click on the "TO" box in a new mail item. The question is, why is mine grayed out and is there a work around or a way to get it ungray. I'd like to be able to select items from my local address book.

"Share My contacts" in the Contacts view of the Navigation Pane has absolutely nothing to do with enabling your Contacts as an address book. You're trying to relate two disjoint features. The "Share My Contacts" option has meaning only in an Exchange environemnt and only when you want other people to be able to see your Contacts folders. Your description indicates you have not properly configured the Outlook Address Book service in your mail profile. See this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/287563/en-us SignatureBrian Tillman |
