MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2004Can not search my Contacts
I am using Outlook 2003 (11.5608.5606) with Windows XP Professional. When I search for a contact that I know is in my Contact folder Outlook never finds it. I have searched for every word, number and combination of both. No matter what I try outlook refuses to find the information. I am using the search field that says, "Type a contact to find." Thank you, Jason Ruegge What do you see when you open the Outlook Address Book?  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > I am using Outlook 2003 (11.5608.5606) with Windows XP > Professional.

On the right hand side it says "show names from the" and contacts is listed. below that there is a list containing names with e-mail address and fax numbers from my contact list. It looks like if you do not have a fax or e-mail you are not in the list? Also I forgot to mention that we are using exchange server 2000. Well of course. What else would be in the Outlook Address Book but electronic addresses?

If I try to search for a contact any contact using the (search for a contact here)it never finds anything, reguardless of weather there is a e-mail address or fax number. It simply says can not find the contact. The contact is there i am looking at it but the search does not find it. Example: john doe Every field in the contact is filled out. Name ,address,tele,pager,home,e-mail,website. I go to the (D) selector and scroll and there the contact is (john doe)If I use the search feature it will not locate it? Jason That's different. You should be able to turn up any Contact for which you search. You need to reset your Outlook Address Book connection to your Contacts Folder and figure out why it is broken. Was this an upgrade from an earlier version? If so, remove the Outlook Address Book Service, Restart Outlook, re-a.s the Service and configure it to show the Contacts Folder(s) in you current profile.

I guess when using exchange use must use top level find or Global Find button that is supplied with Outlook. It finds every file listed using the criteria supplied. Jason |
