Outlook Contacts

[Paul M]

Hello..wish I would have read this earlier...I transferred to a new computer,
and basically brought all of my old emails/contacts over from one computer to
the new one via using back-up
Things worked well..all messages and contacts came through -

My only problem is even though my contact list is alive and well, when
sending emails it wont automatically fill in with addresses that exist in my
contact list. (Even if I hit the To/CC button, it pulls up and EMPTY contact
list.)

I am sure there is a solution..I just cant figure it out.

Thanks in advance

If you right click on the Contacts folder, choose Properties and click on the
Outlook Address Book tab, is the "Show this folder as an email address book"
box checked?

You must enable your Contacts folder as an address book. RIght-click
Contacts, choose Properties, select the Outlook Address Book tab and check
the box labeled "Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book".
