Contact used for Email Adress Book

[Bill]

I have my contacts' email addresses setup in Outlook 2003.

However, from my Outlook Email Address Boook I cannot
find the contacts since I reinstalled Outlook.

How can I get my Contacts to appear in my email Address
Book?

Thanks

Right Click the Contact folder choose Properties and then Outlook Address
Book > ensure check in "enable as email address book"

Hi

Guess I'm having the same issue. I can't find my Contact list under the drop down of the Address Book. I've previously switched terminal in my office and now that's the case

I've tried to enable the option as you've said, but it's greyed out. Any idea how to make that active again

You've tried to do what and in what version of Outlook?

I've tried to "Right Click the Contact folder choose Properties and then Outlook Addres
Book > ensure check in "enable as email address book""

I'm using Office XP. Basically after moving terminal, I can't find my Contact list under the drop down of the Address Book, only the network's contacts are available for me to choose

Go to Tools | E-mail accounts, select "View or change existing directories
or address books", and click OK. If you don't see the OAB in the Directories
and Address Books list, click the Back button, then select "Add a new
directory or address book", then "Additional Address Books", and add the
OAB. Then keep clicking Back until you get back to the first dialog box,
and go back to the Directories and Address Books list as you did earlier.
Once the OAB appears in the list, select it and then click Change to make
sure the Contacts folder(s) you want to display are listed. If any of them
aren't listed, you'll need to enable those Contacts folders as Outlook
Address Books by right clicking the folder, selecting Properties, clicking
the Outlook Address Book tab, and checking the "Show this folder as an
E-mail address book" box. Make sure you restart Outlook after making these
changes.
