Address Book/Contacts, What's the difference?
========
I am running Microsoft Office 2003.

I have recently started using Outlook. When (in the navigation pane) I click
on contacts, all of my contacts appear on screen. When I type an e-mail and
try to put in the name or address of the person a auto-fill doesn't appear.

When I click the picture of the address book next to the 'To:' line. It
opens an address book. There should be a list of contacts in there, but they
seem to be missing. When I click in the drop-down menu to tell the computer
to look in 'contacts' instead of 'address book' all of my contacts appear. I
can then select the person that I wish to send the e-mail to, and then the
e-mail works perfectly.

The computer by default keeps looking in my 'address book' instead of my
'contact' list. How do I change this setting.

Thank you in advance for you help,
If you would find it easyier, then please contact me via e-mail:
(e-mail address removed)

Thank you once again,

Daniel
 
Thank-you for your help, but the problem persists,
The contacts folder is enabled as the e-mail address folder. When click the
address book icon next to 'to:' brings up the addresss book. How do I make it
so it brings up my contacts list. All my contacts are in the contacts folder
and because of this when I start typing someone's e-mail address into the
box, it does not suggest any e-mail address.

I understand that I may have to move all of my contacts into the Address
Book instead of the contacts, please could you tell me how to do that.

Thanks a lot for your time,

Daniel

There is nothing more you should need to do. There is no "address book" for
you to move Contacts into. The Outlook Address Book displays your Contacts
as soon as you select the correct folder in the "Show Names from" dropdown
in the address book.
