Show Names from the Contacts list empty

When selecting Contacts from the Show Names From drop down when sending a new
email, the list is empty in Outlook 2000 - In 2003, it appears empty, but if
I scroll way down and to the right, a limited number of contacts show up.
How do i change the formatting in 2003 and how do i get it to show up in 2000?

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Your post is too unclear with regards to which version you are asking about.
It sound more like you simply need to configure the Outlook Address Book to
show the correct Contacts Folder.

You seem to have old, invalid references to Contacts Folders in your Outlook
Address Book. Remove them he

I apologize for sounding cryptic:

In 2003 - the contacts show up if i scroll down and to the right - there is
a large blank area above the list as if there were multiple blank contacts
(there aren't)

In 2000 - the contacts do not show up BUT if i start typing in the Type Name
or Select field - it populates with a limited amount of contacts.

I have confirmed both settings you mentioned and they are correct and
already exist.

Thanks.

Outlook 2000 has two completely separate versions. You must specify which
mail support mode you are using.

Your description of the problem in Outlook 2003 is idiosyncratic and has not
been reported. Verify your settings. Make sure the Contacts Folder you are
displaying is the default Contacts Folder in your profile, and make sure
that Contacts Folder has no corrupt or blank entries. Make sure you have
only one reference to a Contacts Folder in the Outlook Address Book.

The Outlook 2000 is in corporate/workgroup mode.

I have confirmed the settings as recommended - i have also removed and
readded the service as well as exported the contacts and then removed the
service, then readded the service and imported the info back, to no
avail.......

In troubleshooting further, I was getting an invalid ENTRYID error, and found
some other users having the same problem when I searched the forum
here...unfortunately there was no solution as of yet...

The subject in that string was blank contact lines, cannot delete,
properties: when i performed a search for invalid ENTRYID

Thanks.

Sounds like the problem might be in your Exchange mailbox. Have you checked
with your Exchange administrator?
