Default How to copy/export contacts to the address book in Outlook 200


I did all this, just as you wrote it and still cannot get my Contacts to
show in the Address Book. Only my LDAP directory is available. Any more
words of wisdom?

Hi Russ,
Thanks for the info. I followed these same instructions before I posted
to
the Duscussion Group. My Outllook Address Book is there. In fact I've
tried
adding it again, which I'm not able to do becuase it's already there. I
still cannot select "Show this folder as an email address book". I'm
stumped. Could the following be factors:
I'm not using MS Exchange.
My email is internet based (I'm on a company LAN)
I've also loaded "Business Contacts Manager" (which I don't really need
and
can remove if needed)
Thoughts?

Something is wrong with this picture. The option would be available if in
fact you had added the Outlook Address Book to your profile.
Read the instructions again:

After you removed and re-added the Outlook Address Book service to the mail
profile, did you go back the the properties of the Contacts folder and enable
it as an address book?

I have the same problem. When I attempt to do the following, the option "
Show this folder as an e-mail address book" is greyed out. I think that's
where everyone gets stuck. Why is it grey, and how can I select it?

Russ, you seem in the know.
I have a problem. Am using Outlook 2003.
Have followed instrusctions to bring across addresses from Outlook
Express,
and now have them in my "Contacts" folder.
But... whenever I click the "To..." on a new email, it brings up "Address
Book" (which has nothing in it).
I followed posted advice to 'select' the Contact' on that screen - but it
isn't available. I also followed the instructions on the address mentioned
above which says to open 'folder' go to 'address book' and click "Show
this
folder as an email address book" - unfortunately the area is 'grey' and
unclickable.
I am stuck....

blank replies? The question you quoted is irrelevant since there is no
address book in Outlook and you would never try to transfer data via the
address book view.

As we answer daily, it means you have corrupted your Outlook profile and
must create a new one.
