new additions to my contact list do not show up in my address book

[Guest]

Any new additions to my contact list do not show up in my address book -
can't figure out why.... I have followed all directions to specify my contact
list as my address book, and all of the old contacts appear but no new
additions. Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions?

Suggest posting your Outlook version and the precise steps you are using.
I would suspect you are entering the Contacts in a folder other than the one
you are displaying in your address book view, but there is no information
provided to troubleshoot your problem.

Hello Russ...

I'm using Outllok 2003 ( 11.8 ) sp2... Like everyone else ( it seems ) I
still have the two personal folders ( and every attempt to get rid of them,
new profile, etc has been unsucsessful ). I have also tried all of microsofts
tips to use contact names as the address book without luck. Bottom line is
that any new additions to contacts do not appear in my address book even
though they exist in contacts. I am sure this is a very basic problem on my
part, but I simply can't make the two connect. I have only the one contact
folder and not a separate address folder.

You've introduced several new variables, but not enough to solve the
equation.
So now you're telling us that you have two Personal Folders, yet you claim
to have only one set of Contacts. That seems implausible. Are you sure you
mean that?
Seems to me we need to figure out how you corrupted your profile and fix
that first.
I still strongly suspect you are adding these Contacts to a folder you are
not displaying in your Address Book. Just look and see:
Go to Tools > E-mail accounts > View or change existing directories or
address books > Outlook Address Book > Change. > and report what you see
there.

Okay... nothing shows there. I have attempted to add the contacts folder as
an address book ( contacts folder/properties/show this folder as an e-mail
address book ) and this doesn't work either.

Nothing where? What doesn't work? State what you tried and what happened.
State how you managed to have two sets of Personal Folders. It will be
difficult to fix your Outlook Address Book until we fix the rest of your
problems. I know there is a lot more to this story than you've told us.
