Default Cannot get OL 2003 to use contact list that I created

In the past, I have made a couple of contact lists and tried to make a couple
of distribution lists. I now want to get rid of all of those and start fresh.
I have a motorola cell phone and have used "phone tools" to make a new
outlook contact list . Outlook cannot find it I have gone into toolsemail
accountsadd/remove directories and mostly got rid of unwanted lists. When i
use phone tools to try to create a new list, it still navigates to the old
(deleted?) directories.
If I choose "contacts" in the left pane of the UI I see the list that I
would like to use as my address book but cannot figure out how to tell OL to
do this.
Thanks for any help.

The term "contact list" has no specific meaning in Outlook. What do you mean
by it?
You create Contacts in a Contacts Folder in Outlook. You should never try to
create Outlook contacts via a third party synch program. If you have
questions about your synch program, direct them to whoever supports that
program.

I understand that. Thank you. As far as "Contact list". I'm just trying to
use the nomenclature that I see in the Outlook UI. Forgive me if I use terms
incorrectly, I am among those (there seem to be many)that have a hard time
with the realm of (address books, contacts, distribution lists) within
Outlook.
Now, I have a "list" of people with phone numbers,addresses and email
addresses. That list can be seen if I navigate to the "contacts" button that
is located in the left pane below "calendar" and "mail". I would like that
list, or the info contained in that list to be made available by hitting the
"address Book" button in the toolbar. Is that possible without re-typing all
of the information that is contained there?

Of course. The address book is just another view of your Contacts Folder.
All you need to do is configure it correctly.

Thank you for your time and effort, they are really appreciated.
I have already done this instruction set but did it again just now.I suppose

display the names that I mentioned previously that are within the "contacts"
button just above "tasks" and below "calendar".

So let's assume you have a Contacts Folder that is correctly populated.
Where do these Contacts not appear that you think they should, and what have
you done to correct the situation?

Default Cannot get OL 2003 to use contact list that I created


There is an address book icon in the toolbar at the top of OL.Hitting this
button gives me an "address book" window. Onthe right side of this window is
a drop down that offers "contacts" or "Outlook Address Book". The latter, I
believe is the one that I tried to create using the previous instructions. If
I choose this one I am told that "there are no entries in this address book".

As far as what i've done to correct the problem.....I tried to drag and drop
names from one to the other and I've tried to figure out how to navigate to
whereever the target contacts are located in order to make it the default.
I'm thinking that if it is stored somewhere as say a .PAB, I could move it to
the correct folder that OL goes to for that info. I can't find it. So, I'm
reaching out for help.

Please just read the instructions I posted. It cannot be stated any more
clearly. When you have followed the instructions that are posted, all the
data in your Contacts Folder will appear in the address book view.
Again: the address book contains no data. It is simply a view of the
electronic addresses that reside in your Contacts Folder.

There is an address book icon in the toolbar at the top of OL.Hitting
this
button gives me an "address book" window. Onthe right side of this
window
is
a drop down that offers "contacts" or "Outlook Address Book". The
latter,
I
believe is the one that I tried to create using the previous
instructions.
If
I choose this one I am told that "there are no entries in this address
book".

As far as what i've done to correct the problem.....I tried to drag and
drop
names from one to the other and I've tried to figure out how to
navigate
to
whereever the target contacts are located in order to make it the
default.
I'm thinking that if it is stored somewhere as say a .PAB, I could move
it
to
the correct folder that OL goes to for that info. I can't find it. So,
I'm
reaching out for help.

So let's assume you have a Contacts Folder that is correctly
populated.
Where do these Contacts not appear that you think they should, and
what
have
you done to correct the situation?

Of course. The address book is just another view of your Contacts
Folder.
All you need to do is configure it correctly.

Russ,
Thank you for your time and effort, they are really appreciated.
I have already done this instruction set but did it again just now.I
suppose
that this would work if I were to add new names. Unfortunately, this
does
not
display the names that I mentioned previously that are within the
"contacts"
button just above "tasks" and below "calendar".



Forgive me, but where in the "Outlook UI" have you seen the term
"Contact
As I mentioned previously, I'm just trying to use the nomenclature
that
I
see in OL. I see "contacts", "distribution list",.....in the drop
down
of
the
address book when adding a new entry.

I understand that. Thank you. As far as "Contact list". I'm just
trying
to
use the nomenclature that I see in the Outlook UI. Forgive me if
I
use
terms
incorrectly, I am among those (there seem to be many)that have a
hard
time
with the realm of (address books, contacts, distribution lists)
within
Outlook.
Now, I have a "list" of people with phone numbers,addresses and
email
addresses. That list can be seen if I navigate to the "contacts"
button
that
is located in the left pane below "calendar" and "mail". I would
like
that
list, or the info contained in that list to be made available by
hitting
the
"address Book" button in the toolbar. Is that possible without
re-typing
all
of the information that is contained there?

The term "contact list" has no specific meaning in Outlook. What
do
you
mean
by it?
You create Contacts in a Contacts Folder in Outlook. You should
never
try
to
create Outlook contacts via a third party synch program. If you
have
questions about your synch program, direct them to whoever
supports
that
program.

In the past, I have made a couple of contact lists and tried
to
make
a
couple
of distribution lists. I now want to get rid of all of those
and
start
fresh.
I have a motorola cell phone and have used "phone tools" to
make
a
new
outlook contact list . Outlook cannot find it I have gone into
toolsemail
accountsadd/remove directories and mostly got rid of unwanted
lists.
When
i
use phone tools to try to create a new list, it still
navigates
to
the
old
(deleted?) directories.
If I choose "contacts" in the left pane of the UI I see the
list
that I
would like to use as my address book but cannot figure out how
to
tell
OL
to
do this.
Thanks for any help.
