Contacts are messed up
I am using an exchange 2000 server and my clients have outlook 2003. One of
my users is having an issue with his contacts. If he clicks on contacts he sees his contacts but if he clicks on address book and goes to his contacts there is nothing. I tried removing outlook address book and readding and no luck |

Contacts are messed up
Remove the Outlook Address Book service and then restart Outlook. Add the
service again and make sure on the properties page of the COntacts folder the folder is ticked to up as an Address List in the Address Book. -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] www.howto-outlook.com Tips of the month: -Navigation Pane Tips & Tricks -Create an Office 2003 CD slipstreamed with Service Pack 1 ----- "Dan" wrote in message ...
