There isn't the facility to add it in contacts. This is mainly for personal
use, ie Friend, spouse, children and associated birthdays for this family. Am
I asking too much here.

Sorry, I am using Outlook 2000. I have also noticed that despite adding
childrens names in the address book they do not show up in the contact
address card.

Can you please explain to me why in the contacts file you can add a spouse
but not children, however if you pull up that contact in outlook address
book, you can input children under personal.

Thanks Sue I had found that option, I just wondered why in address book on
personal tab if you click add it comes up with an icon and a box to put the
name in. I cannot understand why this facility is there when although you say
we should not add information from there it actually tells you to.

Karen

i have a similar problem. when i go into my 'address book' my contacts in
there are not the same as contacts in my email main window on the bottom left.
Also, when i open a 'new email' window and tap in a letter for the email
address i want, it brings up a few possibilities as usual. However, when i
try and find those addresses, they are not listed in my address book!?!?

What files? What procedure did you use to perform the "transfer"?

files
to my new computer the files did not load into the e-mail address tool.
How
can you transfer the personal contacts to this tool without re-entering
each
contact seperately?

You did not explain why the program offers the choice.

MS Windows XP Pro 2002, Outlook 2002

From the main screen, click on the Address Book icon. (BTW, the window this
will bring up has a drop-down box on the right, and your first "choice" is
Outlook Address Book, which apparently is NOT a choice, so why does it even
display? Why doesn't the first REAL book display?)

Click on the New Entry icon.

This brings up a window where you highlight either New Contact or New
Distribution List from the list presented, then go down to the drop-down list
at the bottom, WHICH AGAIN GIVES THE OPTION OF OUTLOOK ADDRESS BOOK, but it
you choose that, it gives the message " You cannot create entries for this
address book".

The question, exactly as before, is if we CANNOT make entries in this
supposed "address book", WHY is it CONSTANTLY offered as a choice throughout
the program?

There is no choice. Outlook Address Book contains only address lists built
from your contacts folders, not individual entries. If you had 10 contacts
folders that you wanted to see in the Outlook Address Book, it would have 10
different lists underneath it.

Then why have a choice? I have always wondered the same thing. What is
the
difference between the Outlook Address Book or Contacts? Those are my 2
questions.

Thank you

That's exactly the way it's supposed to work. The Outlook Address Book
contains no individual entries. It contains one or more lists built from
your contacts folders.

When I go up to the tool bar there is an icon that looks like an open
book.
When I click on it a page opens with the title "Address Book". If I go
to
the drop down menu on the right side "Show names from the:" I have two
choices - Outlook Address Book or Contacts. When I open the Address
Book
there are no entries. If I open the Contacts there is all my data for
email,
phone #s, etc.

i have a similar problem. when i go into my 'address book' my contacts in
there are not the same as contacts in my email main window on the bottom
left

Are you using Outlook or Outlook Express? See Help, About if unsure. Outlook
Express displays the address book on the lower left. Outlook does not. This
list includes MSN Messenger contacts and addresses in the Windows Address
Book.

Also, when I open a 'new email' window and tap in a letter for the email
address i want, it brings up a few possibilities as usual. However, when
i
try and find those addresses, they are not listed in my address book!?!?

That is the autocomplete cache. It holds addresses of people you send email
to. You can select names and press delete to remove them.

autocomplete yet i cannot seem to locate it in my contacts list.
Also, how do i sync contacts with my addres book. it's the weirdest yet
simplest-i'd have thought- task!!

there is nothing to sync - the outlook address book is a virtual view of the
contacts folder. make sure the folder is enabled as an address book- right
click on it and choose properties, then outlook address book.

autocomplete has nothing to do with the address book- they are two separate
functions and features. Just because an address is in one, doesn't mean it
will be in the other.

The addresses you see in the autocompletion cache are completely unrelated
to the address book or Contacts folder.

Sue,

When I created contacts, I did not make separate contact folders but a
series of sub-folders under the contacts folder. Might this be why I cannot
make your answer work? I have checked the Outlook Address Book box but the
Address Book shows no entries.

Each contacts folder will appear as a separate list in the address book if
you check the Outlook Address Book box on the folder's Properties dialog.

Hi Sue,

How do I build address lists for the Outlook Address Book? I have lots of
contacts in my Contacts Folder and I'd like to categorize them into 2 or 3
major address books that I can choose from rather than have to search
through
one large list to find someone. How do I create multiple address books?
