Address book blank when viewing from compose email window.

[scott.streit]

I am trying to send an email to a person listed in my address book,
when I type the persons name and click on the "check names" button the
Check Names dialogue box appears but it says no suggestions. If I click
on compose email and click on the to button to open the address book
that too is blank. But I know i have 100+ contacts in my address book.

Does anyone know what could be wrong if i have contacts in my outlook
but cannot access them through my address book when composing an email?

You have 100+ contacts in your Contact folder but it sounds like you haven't
configured the Contacts folder as an address list for your address book yet;

Thank you Worked perfectly. I would have stumbled around for weeks
trying to figure that out.
