I recently reloaded Outlook XP and imported all my
personal files back in. That worked ok, but now Outlook
cannot see my contacts. They appear in the file, but
when I create a new email and press 'To' I find that
directory is empty. How do I get my email addresses to
appear there when the contact folder has everything there?
.
Try this:
STEP 1
=============
1) In the folder list, right-click on contact folder and
select 'Properties'.
2) Click on the 'Outlook Address Book' tab.
3) Check the box labeled 'Show this folder as an e-mail
Address Book'.
Close and reopen Outlook.
If step 1 does not work the follow :
STEP 2
===========
First do this
a) In the folder list, right-click on contact folder and
select 'Properties'.
b) Click on the 'Outlook Address Book' tab.
c) Uncheck the box labeled 'Show this folder as an e-
mail Address Book'.
Reopen Outlook then
1) Click on the 'Tools' menu and click 'E-mail Accounts'.
2) Select 'View or change existing directories or
address books' and click

3) Hightlight the 'Outlook Address Book' and click
the 'Remove' button'. Click
'Yes' on the dialog windows asking if your sure.

click 'Next'.
