I am using Microsoft Outlook 2002 SP2. Recently I
synchronized my PalmPilot contacts with the Outlook. All
the contacts appear in the Outlook Contacts folder. But
when I try to send an email and open the address list by
selecting "To:" I do not see any contacts in the address
list.

In order to fix this, I wanted to change properties of
the Contacts so that they appear in the address book but
the check box "Show this folder as an email address book"
is grayed out and I was not able to select it.

Does anyone know what I can do and why I am not able to
select this check box? I would appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance
-D

Of course. It's posted here many times a day:
Go to Tools | E-mail accounts, select "View or change existing directories
or address books", and click OK. If you don't see the OAB in the Directories
and Address Books list, click the Back button, then select "Add a new
directory or address book", then "Additional Address Books", and add the
OAB. Then keep clicking Back until you get back to the first dialog box,
and go back to the Directories and Address Books list as you did earlier.
Once the OAB appears in the list, select it and then click Change to make
sure the Contacts folder(s) you want to display are listed. If any of them
aren't listed, you'll need to enable those Contacts folders as Outlook
Address Books by right clicking the folder, selecting Properties, clicking
the Outlook Address Book tab, and checking the "Show this folder as an
E-mail address book" box. Make sure you restart Outlook after making these
changes.
