Set address book to use contacts folder vs. outlook address book
The Outlook Address Book is a virtual view of your contacts folder and has no separate existence. Please explain further why what you want to do is not already done by default in Outlook.
And include your Outlook version, ALWAYS, when asking a question in an Outlook group. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

Answered in your other post. No need to post multiple times. This post is

Set address book to use contacts folder vs. outlook address bo
Hi Russ:
Its no more vague than your answer. I understand the difficulty of getting help via discussion boards hence i make videos and post them to youtube so you see what I'm dealing with but what I see on my screen is not what you tell me should be there so I'm just repeating what you say in the form of question in this post. Ciao Darrell

I don’t do you tube... but if you'd try to explain, I'd try to help.
Including the thread in your reply makes it easier too. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: "brainstewn" wrote in message ...

You tube doesn't require log-in or registration its public domain. A picture
is worth a thousand words. Several contacts in outlook are not displayed in Address book view. THANKS for helping. If I hit the little icon to the left and search for Michael Lami he's not there. If I use the search bar next to the address book Michael Lami is displayed as found in contacts and his full-view contact window is displayed when I select him via that method of search. The problem is that I want to add him to a distribution list but he's not in the address book view so I can't. Why isn't the address book view accurate or synced with the contacts? In adddress book view tools options this is what I see and I'm not utilizing business contact manager as of yet it's just installed. Show this address book first ~ Outlook address book Accounts Business contacts Outlook Address book ~ Keep personal addresses in Accounts Business contacts Outlook Address book ~ Add address list Outlook Address book Accounts Business contacts Outlook Address book I've tried every option and combination in address book view options before ever persuing help on this discussion board and I see no "contacts" option and never have until Russ Valentines latest post of even cluing me in that there was one.

He forgot to tell you he installed BCM. Look at the dialogs he has in the
address book view. That changes everything. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote in message ... As others have tried to explain, the address book (seen when you click To or the address book icon) is a virtual address book containing only electronic addresses. In the paper world, this address book would be a desk drawer and each contact folder or other address source is a book, envelopes with return addresses, or business cards tossed in the drawer. Go to folder list (Ctrl+6) - how many contact folders are there? If more than one, right click, properties... is each one enabled as an outlook address book? If so, open the address book (using the little icon) and look on its tools, options dialog - are all the contact folders in the list of address lists to search? Does Mr. Lami's contact have an email address or fax #?

You know, Russ, I don't "go" anywhere (links, web sites, etc.) to see all of the information that should be in a post. Answering properly formed questions with complete information in the post is time consuming enough. If someone can't be bothered to formulate the question with complete details without making someone jump through hoops, then my time is best spent elsewhere.

I agree. I didn't go anywhere. Once he finally posted the dialogs that he
sees in the address book view, I could see where the problem was.
