Default "Show this folder as an e-mail address book" properties doesn't w

I have imported my address book from outlook 2003 to Outlook 2007 and when I
click the "to" button it doesn't show my contacts.
The contacts show my people, but when I go to properties and "show this
folder as an e-mail address book" box , I can't check the box.
The writing is also not bright.
I have tried all the help, and nothing seems to work.

Hi Brandon,

in Outlook 2002 and 2003 you could delete the Outlook Aressbook and add it
again.

In Outlook 2007 is a "bug", you can not delete the Outlook Adressbook.

In Outlook 2007 you must create a new E-Mail profile:

This is the exact problem that I am having with outlook 2003. When you say to
delete the outlook address book and add it again, what exactly do you mean?
and how would you do this and not have to go through the process of manually
adding all the contacts again?

Thanks, Ken

Hi Ken,

if you would delete the "Outlook Addressbook" (not the contact folder) you
would not lost any contacts.

The Outlook Addressbook is only a "filter" of your existing contacts.

When you say to
delete the outlook address book and add it again, what exactly do you
mean?


"Tools/E-Mail Accounts/Show existing Directories and Addressbooks" = Next

Delete the Outlook Addressbook.

Restart Outlook and add the Outlook Addressbook.

"Tools/E-Mail Accounts/Show existing Directories and Addressbooks" = Next
= Add = Outlook Addressbook.

Further information for "How to add an Outlook Addressbook (Outlook 2002 and
2003):

Maybe it helps.
