Sorry, what I am seeing now is when I am sending an
email, and select To: and use the drop down windows, and
go from Global address to Contacts, there is nothing
there. It is blank. Although I do have selected for the
properties of contacts folder Outlook Address Book "Show
this folder as an email folder". Just a quick reminder,
in my contacts folder are contacts and they are all
placed in different categories. So if you were to select
contacts and View, by categories you would see all the
categories, but back to the issue, you can not see any
email address when creating an email and selecting To:
and using the drop down window and going to contacts.
Sorry if am not making sense. must be the holidays.

You're losing me now. I was addressing the error message you said you were
getting whenever you tried to view your Contacts in the Outlook Address
Book:
"The contacts associated with this address list could not be opened,
you may have moved it or deleted it, or you do not have
permissions..."
I already told you that the Outlook Address Book cannot be sorted by
Category, if that's what you were expecting to do. I get the feeling I'm
still not understanding your question.

Russ, the only other option in view or change Outlook
Address book, was File as Last, first. I tried it but
still when I go to send an email and select To: and use
the drop down windows and select contacts, I don't see
any of the contacts from within the categories in
contacts.

It will allow you to view your Contacts in the Outlook
Address Book, which
you said you can no longer do.

"somebody help kenny"
thanks, Russ.. but what will this do for me
exactly "display the correct one. Do so here:
Tools > E-mail accounts > View or change existing
directories or address books > Outlook Address Book
Change."

You have 2 (or more) separate issues here.
First, the Outlook Address book cannot be sorted by
category, so you won't
end up with what you want.
Second, the Contacts Folder listed in your Outlook
Address Book "Show Names"
dropdown is not the correct one. You must reset the
Outlook Address Book to
display the correct one. Do so here:
Tools > E-mail accounts > View or change existing
directories or address
books > Outlook Address Book > Change.

"someone help kenny"
I have setup in my contacts folder "Categories", I
click
on the little plus sign to the left of the category
to
expand it to see my contacts in that category.
Problem
is
when I go to send an email and click on To: and
drop the
windows down to "Contacts" I get an error "The
contacts
associated with this address list could not be
opened,
you may have moved it or deleted it, or you do not
have
permissions. On the properties of Contacts - Outlook
Address Book - I do the box checked "show this
folder as
an email address book"
Only thing I can think is it's because the Contact
folder
contains Categories (with contacts in them). Is
there a
setting that would make the contacts within the
categories, show up when sending an email and
selecting
To: and dropping down the windows to Contact...
thank
you
