Outlook 2007 Address Book/Contacts

J

Jeff Daly

I am using Outlook 2007 and I have a problem that I'd like to get some
assistance with. When typing and email, I like to hit the "To" button and
then click on Contacts that I'd like the email addressed to. Well, my
contacts aren't coming up in window...only an empty Address Book. How do I
get Outlook to use my Contacts files for this function??

Thank you,

Jeff

Milly,

Thanks for your response! I am having trouble locating where/how to remove
the Address Book Service. I looked at the Services in the System
Configuration (Start - Run - 'msconfig') and I didn't see it.

Control Panel->Mail Icon->Accounts->Directories->View or Change. Does the Outlook Address Book service show up there? If not, back up one step and add it. Stop and restart Outlook.
