Default My address book doesn't have the same info as contacts

When I look at my contacts through Outllok 07, I see all information. When I
look in the address book, most of the email addresses and additional
information is missing. I don't know how to make them sync up. I have the
address book set to look at Contacts. The names are there, just not the email
address. What can I do?

Verify that you have the Outlook Address Book Service displaying the correct
Contacts Folder and tell us how you did.

When I display the adress book, I look at the drop down on the top left and
select Contact folder which is a sub folder of the Outlook Address book.

That does not mean it is the correct folder. If it were, it would display
every valid, resolved electronic address in that folder, which you claim it
does not. Tell us the rest of the story of how you created this folder and
configured the Outlook Address Book Service in this profile. Tell us what
does not display that you think should.

In addition to what Russ asks, when you examine a contact in the Contacts
folder that doesn't appear in the address book, is that contact's email
address underlined?

So, just to be clear. This used to work fine. I have been using Outlook for
many years. I updated to Office 07 a few months ago I don't know if this is a
result as I don't use the address book very much. I usually use my contacts
folder to view contacts. I recently wanted to make a distribution list, so I
went to the address book and saw that most of my names were missing their
email addresses although they display fine in contacts. Everything in the
contacts folder looks fine, only in the address book no email addresses.
There are a few that display and I think they are emails that I have recently
added. I think it may have been a result of the update. I have hundreds of
contacts and in the address book I have about 6 email addresses.

When I updated, I did not change anything. All that displays in the address
book is the person's name.
I didn't specifically set up anything. When I look at the options, it says
it is using my outlook contacts. What specifically would you like me to
check?

And in fact the addressbook is just a view of Contacts....used when you are
composing an email.

You don't make a D/L in the Addressbook - see above, You open Contacts and
do New-Distribution list.

Bingo. I knew there was more to this story. If you did an in place upgrade
of Outlook, you have a corrupt profile. You must create a new Outlook
profile from scratch, connect it to your previous data file, and configure
the Outlook Address Book service.

Did you import those contacts by chance?

I did that, when you do, you still get the address book when you click
"select memebers" no email address appear.
