My address book doesn't have the same info as contacts
When I look at my contacts through Outllok 07, I see all information. When I
look in the address book, most of the email addresses and additional information is missing. I don't know how to make them sync up. I have the address book set to look at Contacts. The names are there, just not the email address. What can I do? |

Verify that you have the Outlook Address Book Service displaying the correct
Contacts Folder and tell us how you did. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "renae" wrote in message ... When I look at my contacts through Outllok 07, I see all information.

That does not mean it is the correct folder. If it were, it would display
every valid, resolved electronic address in that folder, which you claim it does not. Tell us the rest of the story of how you created this folder and configured the Outlook Address Book Service in this profile. Tell us what does not display that you think should. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "renae" wrote in message ...

In addition to what Russ asks, when you examine a contact in the Contacts folder that doesn't appear in the address book, is that contact's email address underlined? -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

My address book doesn't have the same info as contacts
So, just to be clear. This used to work fine. I have been using Outlook for
many years. I updated to Office 07 a few months ago I don't know if this is a result as I don't use the address book very much. I usually use my contacts folder to view contacts. I recently wanted to make a distribution list, so I went to the address book and saw that most of my names were missing their email addresses although they display fine in contacts. Everything in the contacts folder looks fine, only in the address book no email addresses. There are a few that display and I think they are emails that I have recently added. I think it may have been a result of the update. I have hundreds of contacts and in the address book I have about 6 email addresses. When I updated, I did not change anything. All that displays in the address book is the person's name. I didn't specifically set up anything. When I look at the options, it says it is using my outlook contacts. What specifically would you like me to check? "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: That does not mean it is the correct folder.

And in fact the addressbook is just a view of Contacts....used when you are composing an email. I usually use my contacts folder to view contacts. I recently wanted to make a distribution list, so I went to the address book You don't make a D/L in the Addressbook - see above, You open Contacts and do New-Distribution list. |

Bingo. I knew there was more to this story. If you did an in place upgrade
of Outlook, you have a corrupt profile. You must create a new Outlook profile from scratch, connect it to your previous data file, and configure the Outlook Address Book service. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Renae" wrote in message ...

I did that, when you do, you still get the address book when you click
"select memebers" no email address appear. "Gordon" wrote: "Renae" wrote in message ... So, just to be clear. This used to work fine. I have been using Outlook for many years.
