MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / February 2004PAB doesn't show in contacts
I have entries in my PAB that do not show in contacts. How do I fix this? The PAB and the Contacts folder are two different places for storing contacts. They're not connected in any way. What is it that you want to fix?

Outlook has not used a PAB for years. Why are you? The PAB is completely separate from the Contacts Folder. That's one of the reasons no one uses it. It was replaced by the Outlook Address Book.

How do I fix this I've never seen Help confuse the PAB and the OAB. Your question is confusing. There can be no such thing as an entry in the Outlook Address Book that does not exist in a Contacts Folder.

Never make entries directly into the Address Book interface--that's not what it's for and you'll lose track of them. Always make entries into the Contacts Folder where you want them to reside.
