MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / February 2007Outlook Contacts Organisation
I have just set up a new folder that is viewable when I click on the My Contacts section in Outlook 2003. I now have two of the little cards in the section that show a contact name, one named contacts and one with a new name. I have moved on catergory from my old contacts folder to this new one. Now when I am writing an e-mail and click check names it doesn't check the names in this new folder. This is something to do with the address book. To be honest I find the whole address book/folder business confusing. All I want is the following: One folder/section for normal contacts and one for recruitment consultants. I want to be able to auto check the names in both of those and have all the functions I did before when they were in the other contacts folder but just seperate them as there are two many. Does this make sense?  SignatureThanks for your help! Tools | Address Book, then Tools | Options will put you in the dialog where you can tell Outlook what lists in your address book to use for checking names.

Did you right-click your new contacts folder, choose Properties, select the Outlook Address Book tabe, then check the box labeled "Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book"? If not, your new folder won't qappear in the Address Book interface. > To be honest I find the whole address book/folder business confusing. You and a lot of others. SignatureBrian Tillman
