No Contacts in Address Book

[Ardell Hosterman]

I have many contacts listed in my contacts folder, but
when I open a blank new message and click on the To: so I
can insert a name, none of my contacts are in my Personal
Address book. Why?
And I tried dragging the names there, but that is not an
option since it won't allow me to do that. If I go thru
Windows Explorer directly to the Address Book I have
folders there with the contacts in them, but when
accessing the Address book from Outlook, there is nothing
there. Why?

What version of Outlook are you using, and if 98 or 2000, what mail
support mode? If you're not sure, look at the second line of Help |
About Microsoft Outlook -- it should say "Internet Mail Only" or
"Corporate/Workgroup". (Outlook 97, 2002, and 2003 don't have separate
modes.)

I'm sorry I can't answer your question but perhaps you
can answer mine. I can't add addresses to my Outlook
Address Book. From Outlook I click Tools-Address Book-
show names from the Outlook Address Book. The screen
says 'no entries'. I click on 'New Entry' and the screen
says 'You cannot create entries for this address book'.
How do I add entries to the address book?
