Outlook 2000

[Guest]

When using Outlook 2000, with Exchange 2000, I can address my email by
clicking on the "TO" button next to the address bar. After click on the "TO"
button a dialog box opens that is titled "Select Names". On the first line
of that dialog are the words "Show names from the:" next to that is a drop
down box which contains different options for addressing. Every user on my
nextwork, 20 users, can see the "Outlook Address Book > Contacts". Their is
one, the boss, that cannot. This means that he cannot easily address email's
to multiple people from his personal contacts. Can anyone tell me how I can
get the Outlook Address Book > Contacts option to show up? Any help is
greatly appreciated

Thank you.

I suspect the boss has not enabled his Contacts folder as an address book.
Right-click Contacts, choose Properties, and click the Outlook Address Book
tab. Check the "Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book" box and click
OK. If that doesn't work, or the box is grayed out, he'll need to add the
Outlook Address Book service to his profile. Click Tools>Services>Add,
select Outlook Address Book and click OK (or, at least, those should be
close; I don't have an OL 2000 box in front of me at the moment to check the
exact buttons). Now go back and check the box described above.

At your boss's computer, In Outlook 2000, click on Tools, then Services.
Make sure the services there are similar to the computer that worked. Sounds
like you may not have Outlook Addr Book service installed on your boss
computer.
