I having been using this application for over 1 year, without problem. As
of
today, when composing a new e-mail, and clicking on "To", my outlook
address
book does not open. Instead, I get a window that says "Select
Names:Contacts". In the past, my entire contacts listing opened up and I
could click on the intended recipients. I've made no changes to any
settings
of which I'm aware.

How can I change to the way it was?

Thanks!

Dale
