MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / February 2008Outlook address book
I imported my address book to contacts, but when I open a new e-mail message it does not look for addresses in my Contacts. If I click on TO: it only opens up the Global Address List from our Exchange server. How can I fix this? Clarify your question. There is no address book in Outlook. The address book is simply a view of your Contacts folder. Just what is it that you imagine you "imported?"

On my hard drive I have a Contacts list of my own that I can't add to the Global address list because they are not employed by our company. I can see all of my addresses, but when I compose a new e-mail the addresses do not appear. If I click on the "To:" button in a new e-mail it doen't bring up "Contacts" that I imported. It only looks in the Global Address list. SignatureMAS > Clarify your question. There is no address book in Outlook. The address book > is simply a view of your Contacts folder.

Maybe I"m just piling on, but I'm having a terrible time with this same problem. I was showing two contacts lists in my address book, one empty and one with my contacts ni it. The default was empty so every time I "echecked names" it came up blank unless I told it to look in the second list. So, reading other posts I first tried deleting one of the contacts lists. No affect. There were still two. So another post said to delete the Address Book and recrate a a new one. I did and now I can't "enable your Contacts Folder as an email address book". It's grayed out. How can I create a new address book? > Did you enable your Contacts Folder as an email address book?

You did something incorrectly. We have no idea what. The instructions posted here are correct and do work. Try them again. Or at the very least post an accurate and complete description of what you did so we can tell you what you did wrong.

Thanks Russ. I solved the problem. Another MVP informed me that I was probably using a "Personal" address book, which is outdated and not used, rather than an Outlook Address Book. In fact, that was correct. So I deleted the PAB and created an OAB and it works fine now. Cheers. David > You did something incorrectly. We have no idea what.
