I go to send a new email and click on "TO" then "Contacts" it does not list
any of my contacts.
I can not check box "Show this folder as an E-mail address book" in Contact
Properties. (Grayed out)
An E-Mail account was created Named "Personal Folders" Type "MAPI"
What is going on here??
WinXP & Office XP


Thanks
 
Tools | E-Mail Accounts | Add a new directory or address book | additional
address books | Outlook Address Book.

After you've added the Outlook Address Book to your profile go back to the
Contact folder properties and you should find that checkbox enabled.

But when you go to the Contacts folder, right-click it, properties, Outlook
Address Book tab you can't check the box for "show as e-mail address book?"

If so, try removing the Outlook Address Book from the profile, restart
Outlook, then re-add the Outlook Address Book.
