Viewing My Contacts
I just had my company laptop re-imaged and now have Outlook 2003. When
addressing a message in my older version, I would see the entire company directory in the "Show Names From" drop down, and if I scrolled all the way to the bottom I would see My Contacts and could select names from my address book. I cannot seem to find it with Outlook 2003. How do I find my personal contacts when addressing a message? Thanks! JJ |

Thanks Brian, I followed your instructions, but the selection is "greyed
out". Is this something my IT team set up you think? "Brian Tillman" wrote: JJ wrote: I just had my company laptop re-imaged and now have Outlook 2003.

I figured it out... Tools, Email Accounts, Under Directory choose View or
change existing directories or address books, Next, Add, Select additional Address Books, Next, Personal Address Book, then exit Outlook and restart. Thanks and have a Merry Christmas!

Click ToolsE-mail AccountsAdd a new directory or address bookNext. Select the Additional Address Books radio button and click Next. Select Outlook Address Book and click Next, then Finish. Stop and restart Outlook. Then you'll be able to check the "Show this folder..." box, if it's not checked already. You can go back to ToolsE-mail AccountsVew or change existing directories or address booksNext, select Outlook Address Book, click Change and select the display sort order there if you don't like what you get by default. -- Brian Tillman -- Brian Tillman |

No, no, no. The PAB service is long obsolete. You need to add the Outlook Address Book service so Outlook will use your COntacts folder. -- Brian Tillman |
