??Outlook housekeeping issue

[jeffroleigh]

If you navigate to the following:
Start outlook--click on 'new' mail message,
then click on to:
the drop box named 'Show Names from the:' (displays contacts)

Question: How can you edit these entries. I can't do it from the 'contacts'
screen, and I havn't seen any options in any of the 'options' screens.

Thanks,
Jeff.

Go to your Contacts folder and edit the items there.

Please provide clarification. Are you saying that you can not edit your
contacts at all when you go into your contacts or are you asking how to
change the names that appear when you click on the TO: Which is also done by
editing contacts.

Either way contacts are edited from the Contacts folder - providing this is
not actually a Global Address List (GAL) should be able to edit them. What
is it that you are trying to edit?

Hello Francine,

Please provide clarification. Are you saying that you can not edit your
contacts at all when you go into your contacts.

No. I can edit within contacts.

or are you asking how to
change the names that appear when you click on the TO:
Yes.

Which is also done by
editing contacts.

Here is where the problem is. I have successfully added and deleted items in
contacts, and in the address book as well. However, in the address book as
well as in the new mail section where you set up a new e-mail message such as
From: To: and so on, there is a window that displays ‘data’ that is
representative of the information in the address book and the contacts
module. I can’t figure out how to get rid of them.

Either way contacts are edited from the Contacts folder - providing this is
not actually a Global Address List (GAL) should be able to edit them. Regards,

What is up with the GAL?

Thanks,
Jeff.
