Outlook 2000 - Contacts not in Address Book

The only other way I know of to sort the Address Book is by last name -- go
to Tools | Services, highlight the Outlook Address Book service, click
Properties, and set your sort order there. I don't think there are any
other options. The Address Book functions in Outlook have never been very
sophisticated.

I have a related question. The address book comes up as a master
list sorted by first names. Is there a way to sort by category? by
last name? by company? If so, how do I set it up? If not, is there
a way to creast other address books based upon categories, etc?

I agree with you that the address book is not sofisticated.
The question is when you click on the "To" button a list of the address book
appears, and this one is ALWAYS sorted by first name. There is no way I
found to sort it otherwise.
To Heidi:
Yes you can create other Address books by categories: Right ckick on the
Contacts folder and select "New"...
Don't forget to go to the properties of this new folsder and set "Show as
Outlook address book"

For your first comment (to me) -- the Address Book, as shown when you click
To, can be sorted in a few different ways, or at least it can in most
configurations -- instructions for doing it depend on the version of
Outlook. If you'd like to provide your version I can help you find the sort
settings.

For your second comment (to Heidi) -- since the Address Book has a
completely different view than the Contacts folder, she can change the sort
order in her Contacts any way she wants, but it's not going to change the
sort order in the Address Book.

To Jocelyn.
Thanks for the reply and sorry for the late response (the reason for the
CC). I was on vacation.
I am eager to know how to change the sort order in the Address Book as shown
when you click To.
Everyone in the company drives me crazy about it.

it appears sthat you copied and pasted the addresses into the current
program. Also, you have a setting in your mail preferences: "Add wmails that
I reply to to my address book automatically" checked. As far as the
addresses showing up, make sure that you paste them into the main folder and
then reboot the program. Then create new sub folders. The imported folders
will not pick up in outlook. Even if you have 2 .pst files open it will not
read from the menus that you want it to without doing some manual manuvering.

In Outlook 2000:
My contacts are not showing up in my address book. I can not pick them from the TO: button for e-mail. Three contacts have been added into my personal address book (without my asstance) that do not appear to have anything in common. Most of my contacts have fax numbers and e-mails entered. How do I reconnect the mapping of the contacts to the address book?

I have seen several posts regarding the same issue in for Outlook 2002 but the steps apear to be located in different menus for 2000 vs. 2002.
