Default "Show this folder as as e-mail Address Book" is greyed out

Outlook2007 installed on Windows7. Brought .pst over from XP machine.
Everything ok except, like this thread is discussing, email address do not
show in address book.

I was able to 'bold' the check box to enable contacts for address book under
contact properties by opening alternate .pst files. But still no emails in
address book.

I then went to Control Panel and removed the 'outlook' profile and re-added.
Still no emails in address book. I'm new to this community stuff but you
mentioned reading 'newsgroups' in a previous post. Could you please edify
for a guy who requires pictures? thanks

It appears as if your Outlook Address Book is working as it should. There
are never any entries in the "Outlook Address Book." They should only appear
in the Contacts Folder.
By definition you have a Contacts Folder somewhere that has entries, but it
is not the one you are currently displaying in your Navigation Pane. Use
Folder List view to display all your folders so you can find your active
Contacts Folder.

"Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book"


I have created a new Profile a few times, adding one, removing
one. Unfortunately, the box is still grayed out for me.
I'm so confused that I'm not even sure if I/m asking the correct
thing.
I can see all my Contacts if I go to Address Book and click the drop
down and select Contacts. If I select OAB, nothing.
Of course, no Contacts show if I click Contacts on the sidebar. Any help,
much appreciated. May I add that if my issue seems dumb or has been
answered
a thousand times before, please do not follow an urge to post
a bitter, sarcastic remark? I appreciate how the MS professionals display
patience and I will gladly wait for their help.

John
