Sub-Contacts in Outlook 2003 not showing up in address book.

[Just Taylor]

Greetings,

The better half is using Outlook 2003 and in her "Contacts" folder she
has two sub-contact folders. No problem when viewing the contacts via
the "Folder List." The problem lies when she tries to send e-mail, from
the Inbox she selects "New" and then selects the "Address Book" icon
which will display the main contacts in the "Show Names from the:" drop
down menu. Is there anyway to have her sub-folders show up there as
well?

We already found that the sub-folder route will not work with Dell's
Axim X3 & Outlook 2003 so hopefully this is not the case overall.

Thanks in advance for any clues you can send my way!

Check the Outlook Address Box on the folder's Properties dialog.

Found the fix... I guess importing the old sub-folders from Outlook
2000 didn't go correctly so I created new sub-folders and copied the
contacts over. All is good.

Now if we could only fix the sub-folder problem with our Dell Axim!
