Thanks

try this:

right click the Contacts folder | Properties | Outlook address book | tick
the box to show as an address book.

Hi Judy,
I have done as you suggested without any luck.
There is over 100 entries in the Contacts but nothing shows up in the email
address book.

Ensure your Outlook Address Book service is properly installed.
Tools-Options-Mail Setup-Accounts-Directories=View or Change-ensure
the address book service is installed. If not, back up one step and add
it. Be sure to close and restart Outlook when prompted.

Milly,
When I get to the "ensure the address book service is installed", I am asked
for server name. Is this the correct path, if so, where do I find the server
name to enter?

Thanks,
Stan W.

That doesn't sound like you selected the "Add a new directory or address
book" radio button before clicking Next.

Go back and reread Milly's instructions. You seem to have stipped the step
I described.

Brian, you have totally lost me.

From Milly's instructions.
Tools Options Mail setup Accounts Directory View or Change opens
email accounts, so what is ment by "ensure the address book service is
installed?"
Or
Tools Options Mail Setup Accounts Directory (as you wrote) Add a
New Directory or Address Book Directory or Address Book Type Internet
Directory Service (LDAP what ever that means) Service Information...... I
again ask, is this the correct path? If so, where do I find the server
information to enter?
