Address Book will not come up using Fax Wizard
That is why I told you to import
your WAB through Outlook Express. .... which I did Your error messages mean that you still have not configured the Outlook Address Book correctly. I cannot tell what you did wrong. I posted the instructions. Reread them. I did what you said re configuring, and have details below of the way everything looks now. At this point I want you to look in the Outlook Contacts Folder. Were your fax Contacts imported and do they appear correctly? If so, we can move to the next step. No, nothing got imported. The only entry is the one I was able to get into the folder I created. I cannot even make new entries into the Contacts folder. See below. //////////////////////////////// Russ, I tried below to give you everything I have at present. Hopefully you can help me clean up the operation of the Address Book so I have only the file I need in Outlook (I have two, and suspect one is not needed) and get rid of the error messages. WINDOWS DESKTOP Start - Control Panel - Internet Options - Programs: Contact List is Microsoft Outlook OUTLOOK File - Data File Management: Outlook Data Files shows two entries: Name: Personal Folders Filename: C:\Documents and Settings\Neil and Carol\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst Comment: (blank) and Name: Personal Folders Filename: C:\Documents and Settings\Neil and Carol\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook1.pst Comment: Mail delivery l... View - View Folders List: Folder List shows two headings: Outlook Today - [Personal Folders] -- underneath it is Calendar, Contacts, etc. (10 altogether) Personal Folders -- underneath it is Calendar, Contacts, etc. (10 altogether) Clicking on Contacts in the first heading shows an entry I made manually when I set up Fax Contacts set up 6-19-04 following the instructions from the Microsoft Web Site address you gave me. Clicking on the Contacts icon in the Outlook shortcuts column also show the same entry. Clicking on Contacts in the second heading shows "there are no items ... " Wondering if when I did that set up, following the instructions from the Microsoft Web Site, that I set up a second Folder in Folder List, and did not have to -- that I was supposed to select Personal Folders (the second folder), select Contacts, then in File - Folder - Properties for Contacts check off "Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book." Tools - Address Book Error message: "The address list cannot be displayed. The contacts folder associated with this address list could not be opened; it may have been moved or deleted, or you do not gave permisssions. For information on how to remove this folder from the Outlook Address Book, see Microsoft Outlook Help." Click OK and the Address Book comes up anyway, and I can select Fax Contacts set up 6-19-04 and see the entry I made manually. SENDING A FAX FROM NOTEPAD If I go to Notepad to send a fax and go throught the Fax Wizard, clicking on Address Book gives the same sequence as directly above (error message - OK - Address Book) -- then I can select the fax number I put in Fax Contacts set up 6-19-04 and send the fax. I can also make new entries into Fax Contacts set up 6-19-04. However, if I try to move ahead with making a New entry into Contacts I get the error message as above. In the New Entry Window, there is a choice to make the New Entry into Contacts, but if I try that, I get two error messages: "A new entry could not be added. Please use the contacts module to create this entry" followed by a second error message: "A new entry could not be added. The action could not be completed." I can also select the main heading Outlook Address Book (Contacts and Fax Contacts set up 6-19-04 are below that as sub-entries) and click on New. The New Entry window opens. No matter what choices I make there, I get the error message: "A new entry could not be added. Please use the contacts module to create this entry" followed by a second error message: "A new entry could not be added. The action could not be completed."
