PAB doesn't show in contacts

[Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]]

For example? (I agree with Russ -- it's not possible, so I can only assume
there's something key detail that you haven't shared.)

Sue,
I did consolidate them. One was empty, it was "Outlook PCS". I

deleted it. The others I copied into the main contacts folder, then deleted
it. There are still addresses in the OAB that do not display in the
contacts folder.

Well, I've tried to follow both your's and Sue's recommendations and haven't fixed the issue. I suppose I'll have to go someplace else. Thanks for your help

Well Russ, I beg to differ with you. I have entries that show in the OA

when I select it from the tool bar, that do not display in the contact view

The Address Book interface is simply the view of your Contacts Folde

get when you open the Address Book in Outlook. That's all the Outloo
Address Book is: a view of your Contacts Folder. That's why it is no

at least one of your Contacts Folders

I only make entries into my Contacts folder. I don't know what th

Address Book interface is. When I want to add a contact into th contact
folder, I select that contacts folder and the select "New" from th toolbar
If I want a contact in the subfolder, I then copy from the contac view int
the subfolder, and no the missing contacts are not in the subfolders I'v

looked

Bingo. One of those three Contacts Folders will contain th

you se

in your Outlook Address Book. It cannot be otherwise. Neve

directly into the Address Book interface--that's not what it'

an
you'll lose track of them. Always make entries into th

Contact

Folde
where you want them to reside. Make sure you are displayin

th

Change.)

I've already posted all the other solutions you might need

Here goes. I'm running Outlook 2002 (10.4712.4219)SP-2. I hav

on
personal folder. I have one main contacts folder with tw

subfolder

unde
that. When I look at my OAB from the Tools/Emai

Accounts/Vie

existin
address books, OAB is the only one there. When I look at th properties o
the contacts file/OAB, the box is checked to use as an emai

as a
addres

book. I was never using a PAB, I only mentioned PAB vs. OA

becaus

th
embedded help file calls it a PAB. It was a clean install an

I hav
onl

my pst file

I'm sure it can be explained if you tell us the precis

o
your Outlook Profile, how many Personal Folders exist, ho

Contact

configured an

how you are creating these Contacts. Include your Outlook version and
whether you installed it clean or not. I would also suggest

that if
for some

reason you were using the PAB with this profile, that you

start over
with a

clean Profile that contains only one PST file and the Outlook

Address

Service. Instructions here:

Well, maybe I have an alien version of MS Outlook 2002. The embedded help
files still call the address book a personal address book. I

have

entered
new contacts into the contacts folder only to have them not

display
in the

contacts folder however when I select the little open book

icon for
the

address book, the new entry is there. I've even had the

experience

of
having an entry that I just typed into a new contact not

display in
contacts

or the address book and so I do a find on it and boom, its

there and
I can

display the information. Can that be explained.

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.

The
Outlook
Address Book contains no data and can only display data that resides
in a
Contacts Folder.

Russ, I realize it's an OAB rather than a PAB, however MS Help on
Outlook
calls it a PAB still. How can I get the entries in my OAB

to
show in

my
contacts folder?

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.
