I am using Vista, Outlook Express. I need to add a contact to my address
book but can't, for the life, of me, figure out how to do it. I've gone to
the HELP function which tells me what to do, but the toolbar that is
supposed to come up isn't there. When I click on CONTACTS the toolbar
(reading across from left to right) says: ORGANIZE / VIEWS / PLAY ALL /
BURN

Nowhere is there a feature that says NEW CONTACT.

Anyone have a clue?

Thanks in advance.
Diane

Open your Contacts. Right-click anywhere in the right-hand window and choose
Customize this folder. In the drop-down box under "Use this folder type as a
template" change it to Contacts. Click OK.
That should sort it for you...

Asking a question?
Please tell us the version of the application you are asking about,
your OS, Service Pack level
and the FULL contents of any error message(s)

If you use Vista, it's not Outlook Express. You're probably using Windows
Mail.

(boilerplate reply).....

When you have the Contacts folder open, you should have a button on the
toolbar for "New Contact", "New Contact Group", Import" and "Export". If
you don't see these buttons, the folder template got changed, as it
sometimes does...

Right-click on a blank area of the right pane, and select "Customize this
folder".
In the pull-down box, select "Contacts"
OK

Tools - Accounts - (youraccount) - Properties - Servers

But what has this to do with the subject "Adding a Contact"?

Erika, your computer's time zone is configured for Pacific time,
although you are actually located in the Central time zone.
This causes your post to be time stamped in the future.
