MS Office Forum / Outlook / New Users / June 2005To button on new message shows no contacts
a friend imported a PST file and apparently messed up his contacts list... when typing a new message, and click the 'to' button.. where do you control what folder that looks at for the contact list?? In what version of Outlook?

If you have Contacts in the Contacts folder but they are not accessible when you click on the To button, check these settings: Make sure the Contact folder is enabled as an email address book. Right click the Contacts folder, choose Properties then Outlook Address Book. Is the box to enable as email address book is checked? If this is grayed out... Go to Tools | Email Accounts, choose View or change existing directories or address book. Is the Outlook Address Book present? If it isn't listed, add it and close and restart Outlook. If it is listed, then remove it and close then restart Outlook and repeat these steps to add it.

Then these instructions won't apply. That is why you should include your Outlook version when you post. We're too busy to have to guess at these things. For your version: Go to Tools > Services. Make sure the Outlook Address Book service is listed. If not, add it. Next, R click on the Contact folder or folders you want the OAB to display, choose "Properties", go to the Outlook Address Book tab and check the "Show this folder as an E-mail address book" box. You may also need to go to Tools > Options > Addressing Tab and choose to show your Contacts folder. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > thanks > ill try that..
