I am using Outlook 2003 (11.5608.5606) with Windows XP
Professional. When I search for a contact that I know is
in my Contact folder Outlook never finds it. I have
searched for every word, number and combination of both.
No matter what I try outlook refuses to find the
information. I am using the search field that
says, "Type a contact to find."

Thank you,
Jason Ruegge

I see a box. On the right hand side it says "show names

from the" and contacts is listed. below that there is a
list containing names with e-mail address and fax numbers
from my contact list. It looks like if you do not have a
fax or e-mail you are not in the list? Also I forgot to
mention that we are using exchange server 2000.
 
Well of course. What else would be in the Outlook Address Book but
electronic addresses?

Russ, I guess my point is this. If I try to search for
Click to expand...
a contact any contact using the (search for a contact
here)it never finds anything, reguardless of weather
there is a e-mail address or fax number. It simply says
can not find the contact. The contact is there i am
looking at it but the search does not find it.
Example:
john doe
Every field in the contact is filled out.
Name ,address,tele,pager,home,e-mail,website. I go to
the (D) selector and scroll and there the contact is
(john doe)If I use the search feature it will not locate
it?

That's different.
You should be able to turn up any Contact for which you search. You need to
reset your Outlook Address Book connection to your Contacts Folder and
figure out why it is broken. Was this an upgrade from an earlier version?
If so, remove the Outlook Address Book Service, Restart Outlook, re-ass the
Service and configure it to show the Contacts Folder(s) in you current
profile.

I figured it out! I guess when using exchange use must
use top level find or Global Find button that is supplied
with Outlook. It finds every file listed using the
criteria supplied.
