Contacts Hanging

Hello,

When I make a new mail and click on the "To" button and go
to Contacts to select a recipient Outlook hangs when I
reach the letter "F".

A friend suggessted that I export the Contacts to a new
PST and then re-import them to weed out the corrupt
Contact entry. Problem is that my Contact folder under
Outlook Today does not match the Contacts that I see when
I click on the "To" button and then select a Contact.

Why is this so? And can any body help me with this problem?

Much Obliged
Michael
 
You failed to post your Outlook version.
Reset the Outlook Address Book. I can't tell you how because you didn't post
your version. Perhaps you already know.
 
Sorry,

Version is MS Outlook 2000 sp3.

I'm having the exact same problem, but can not get past
the C's. I'm running the same version you are. Have you
found the fix yet??

Hello all,

This "address book makes outlook and word hang or stop responding for
up to 5 minutes" problem seems to be a known error, but there is no
known fix.

However, I have found a work-around:
when you create the message and you want to add an email address,
do not click on the little address book icon (i.e. next to "To:",
"Cc:" or "Bcc:").

In stead, type in some name in the "To:" field and then click in the
next field, or click in the text area (where your email message will
go).
After a few seconds, Outlook will draw a ziggy red line underneath
what you typed in the "To:" field, because it can't find a unique
match to what you typed within the contacts.

At this point you will now be able to use the address book, i.e. you
can now click on the little address book icon (i.e. next to "To:",
"Cc:" or "Bcc:"), and use the address book to find your contact and
put it into the "To:", "Cc:" or "Bcc:" field.

Cheers,
Wim
