Well, my friend and I came up with a work-around. He has his contacts
organized in categories within the contacts folder. So in the left
folder-list panel, we would create a new category for the first old category
ie new='friends1', old='friends'. Then click on 'friends', Ctrl 'A' the
contacts and drag them into 'friends1'. Remove 'friends' and move on to the
next.

In each case, we tested with a new message, clicking on the 'To' button, and
contact names would show up.

Now we were not done yet. Because we had sync'd outlook several time with
Dmailer software as well as dropping several .pst files in default local, the
'contact' code couldn't decide which was the default email for the contact
even-though they were the same, so it creates a drop down list in email box
on the contact form. We had to select the email in order to 'set it'.

After that, all the email addresses appeared in the Address Book. Its seem
a little convoluted but it worked and requires not too much effort - you kind
of get into a rhythm.

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.
