Thanks Sue I had found that option, I just wondered why in address book on
personal tab if you click add it comes up with an icon and a box to put the name in. I cannot understand why this facility is there when although you say we should not add information from there it actually tells you to.

Contacts? Address book?
i have a similar problem. when i go into my 'address book' my contacts in
there are not the same as contacts in my email main window on the bottom left. Also, when i open a 'new email' window and tap in a letter for the email address i want, it brings up a few possibilities as usual. However, when i try and find those addresses, they are not listed in my address book!?!? "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: What files? What procedure did you use to perform the "transfer"? -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "JSharpe" wrote in message ... I have a similar problem, however when I transfered my personal contact files to my new computer the files did not load into the e-mail address tool. How can you transfer the personal contacts to this tool without re-entering each contact seperately? |

Contacts? Address book?
You did not explain why the program offers the choice.
MS Windows XP Pro 2002, Outlook 2002 From the main screen, click on the Address Book icon. (BTW, the window this will bring up has a drop-down box on the right, and your first "choice" is Outlook Address Book, which apparently is NOT a choice, so why does it even display? Why doesn't the first REAL book display?) Click on the New Entry icon. This brings up a window where you highlight either New Contact or New Distribution List from the list presented, then go down to the drop-down list at the bottom, WHICH AGAIN GIVES THE OPTION OF OUTLOOK ADDRESS BOOK, but it you choose that, it gives the message " You cannot create entries for this address book". The question, exactly as before, is if we CANNOT make entries in this supposed "address book", WHY is it CONSTANTLY offered as a choice throughout the program? "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: There is no choice. Outlook Address Book contains only address lists built from your contacts folders, not individual entries. If you had 10 contacts folders that you wanted to see in the Outlook Address Book, it would have 10 different lists underneath it. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Wayne" wrote in message ... Then why have a choice? I have always wondered the same thing. What is the difference between the Outlook Address Book or Contacts? Those are my 2 questions.

When I go up to the tool bar there is an icon that looks like an open book. When I click on it a page opens with the title "Address Book". If I go to the drop down menu on the right side "Show names from the:" I have two choices - Outlook Address Book or Contacts. When I open the Address Book there are no entries. If I open the Contacts there is all my data for email, phone #s, etc. |

Contacts? Address book?
i have a similar problem. when i go into my 'address book' my contacts in
there are not the same as contacts in my email main window on the bottom left Are you using Outlook or Outlook Express? See Help, About if unsure. Outlook Express displays the address book on the lower left. Outlook does not. This list includes MSN Messenger contacts and addresses in the Windows Address Book. Also, when I open a 'new email' window and tap in a letter for the email address i want, it brings up a few possibilities as usual. However, when i try and find those addresses, they are not listed in my address book!?!? That is the autocomplete cache. It holds addresses of people you send email to. You can select names and press delete to remove them. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Coauthor, OneNote 2003 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide) Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: |

Also, how do i sync contacts with my addres book. it's the weirdest yet simplest-i'd have thought- task!!

Contacts? Address book?
Sue,
When I created contacts, I did not make separate contact folders but a series of sub-folders under the contacts folder. Might this be why I cannot make your answer work? I have checked the Outlook Address Book box but the Address Book shows no entries. "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Each contacts folder will appear as a separate list in the address book if you check the Outlook Address Book box on the folder's Properties dialog. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "sharongscott" wrote in message ... Hi Sue, How do I build address lists for the Outlook Address Book? I have lots of contacts in my Contacts Folder and I'd like to categorize them into 2 or 3 major address books that I can choose from rather than have to search through one large list to find someone. How do I create multiple address books? |
