I have several folders under the main contacts folder. When I add a new
contact outlook only auto checks names listed in the actual contacts folder
instead of all the folders. When I go to choose outlook address book as the
default folder it tells me there is nothing in it. I at a loss as to what to
do. Can anyone help?
 
Tools | Address Book, then Tools | Options will get you into the dialog where you can tell Outlook which of the address lists in the Address book you want to use to check names, in which order.

The Outlook Address Book selection should appear empty. It will hold only
those Contact Folders that you enable as an email address book.
Enable each folder as an email address book. Each will be searched in
succession until a match is found. Then searching stops.
