"Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book" dimmed
I am using Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager. I am not connected
with an Exchange Server. The box "Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book" is dimmed for both my Contacts and Business Contacts folders. ToolsAccount SettingsAddress Books show only 1 Outlook Address Book (type MAPI). When I click "New...", click "Additional Address Books", I see two options: Mobile Address Book and Outlook Address Book. Choosing either makes no difference. ToolsAccount SettingsAddress Books -- When I click "Change...", The list is empty of Outlook Address Books. It says "To designate a Contacts folder as an Outlook Address Book...select the 'show this folder as an e-mail address book' check box", which leads me to my original question. What to do if this check box is dimmed. Any help? |

"Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book" dimmed
one other note: I am using Vista, and used the Transfer files and settings
to get my files into my e-mail from Windows XP (Outlook 2007). "gkbrenne" wrote: I am using Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager. I am not connected with an Exchange Server.

I had the same issue. The default profile had apparently gotten corrupted,
and I used the file transfer from XP as you did. I started a new profile, deleted the default profile and all was right.

Is there an easy way to transfer all of my stuff to a new profile?
