I've downloaded all my contacts from my home PC's Outlook
2000 to my computer at work Outlook 2000. My Problem is I
can see my contacts when I click Contacts in left toolbar,
but, when I go to send an e-mail and try to find them in
the select names area under contacts they don't show up??
Where did they go and how do I get them to show up when I
want to sent them an email?
 
Try this:
You might want to, before you start this, I apologize but I don't have a
computer here with Office 2000 to tell you the exact steps, but open mail
from control panel and view the services associated with your account and
delete the "contacts" that is listed there.
It may be under Address books, I don't remember for sure the exact steps to
get there.
Then right click on your contacts folder in Outlook and choose Properties -
Outlook address book tab - and check to enable "Show this folder as an
e-mail address Book."

If you don't delete the "contacts" that is there before you enable your
contacts to be viewed as an address book, when you go to the select names
area you will have 2 "contact" lists to choose from. On will be empty and
one will have your contact list. After enabling your contact list to be
viewed as an address book THEN deleting the "contact" from the services
associated with your account, you will find it difficult to tell the empty
contact list from the one you want.
