If you have Contacts in the Contacts folder but they are not accessible
when
you click on the To button, check these settings:
Make sure the Contact folder is enabled as an email address book. Right
click the Contacts folder, choose Properties then Outlook Address Book.
Is
the box to enable as email address book is checked?
If this is grayed out...
Go to Tools | Email Accounts, choose View or change existing directories
or
address book. Is the Outlook Address Book present? If it isn't listed,
add
it and close and restart Outlook. If it is listed, then remove it and
close
then restart Outlook and repeat these steps to add it.
If you are using Outlook 2007 and the the checkbox is grayed, you'll need
to
make a new profile as you can't add the Outlook Address Book service due
to
a bug.

I am running Vista and Outlook 2003. I recently exported my contacts
froma
different computer and imported them to my new computer, with the
Vista,
the
old one had XP. Now when I go to the TO: button in a new message no
contacts
show up. If I go to tools>address book, there is no lists in the
ShowNames
from the: box.
Any suggestions why my contacts are not showing up?
Thanks,
