Outlook 2007 Address Book

But you can remove it, right? If nothing appears when you view this folder
in the address book view, then you have a corrupt link to your Contacts
Folder. Remove this one and add the correct one.

Sorry Russ, perhaps I jumped ahead.

First , I did exactly as you asked, and when I clicked on "change", a
widow
opened that showed my outlook address book as "contactsersonal folders".

Within the same window, and above, the text said to go to properties in
the
contacts, personal folders. The dialog box showed that this folder was
selected as the e-mail address book. As I said last night, there is a
check
mark in this box, but it is not "active", which is to say that the text
and
check box are light gray, and I couldn't change if I wanted to.

I'm sorry for the confusion but, this is exactly what I see.

Wait. You confused me. The view I asked for has no check box. You said it
does. You didn't mean that, did you?

Hi Russ,

I've been out of town.

OK, the window shows the selected Outlook Address Book as
"Contacts:Personal
Folders". The text above this says that in the properties dialog box to
check
the box "Show this folder as the e-mail address book". The box has a
check
mark, but it is not "active".

Russ,

Ok, I tried your suggestion. I only have 1 address book; "Contacts".
This
is
the one that had been selected; as always.

When I type a name into select names window that opens when I click
on
"To"
in e-mail, no list of contacts appeares but, I can type a name in,
click
the
search button and one name will appear.

you
will have the option to choose which Contacts Folder you want to

Hi Russ,

You helped me on a similar problem a couple of months ago on the
PC
in
my
office. In fact I looked your reply up to see if I could use to
fix
my
home
PC.

I'm not sure I completely understand your response. When you say
open
address book, do you mean my Outlook contacts personal folder?

One other thing I looked at prior to asking for help was to right
click
on
the contacts folder properties. This opened a window called
contact
properties. By clicking on the Outlook Address Book tab, I can
see
that
"Contacts" has been selected as the folder for my e-mail address
book.
Although there is a check mark in the box, the entire line is not
"active",
in other words, I can't uncheck, or check the box.

Again everthing has worked fine for over a year then yesterday,
it
went
south.

I having been using this application for over 1 year, without
problem.
As
of
today, when composing a new e-mail, and clicking on "To", my
outlook
address
book does not open. Instead, I get a window that says "Select
Names:Contacts". In the past, my entire contacts listing
opened
up
and
I
could click on the intended recipients. I've made no changes
to
any
settings
of which I'm aware.

How can I change to the way it was?

Thanks!

Dale
