Address Book

[John Gregory]

My new machine came with Outlook Express 6. I use Oulook 2000 on my other
machine so loaded into my new machine, copied the .pst folder, imported it
into Outlook and away I went.

Everything seemed to be working fine until I decided to send a message for
OE6. When I typed a frequently used email address, it wasn't found. It IS
found, however, in Outlook. Can someone please tell me how to get OE6 to see
the Contacts file (address book or whatever holld the addresses inthat
program)?

When I right click the Contacts folder in Outlook and go to the Outlook
Address Book tab, "Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book" is grayed out
with a grayed out check mark in the box. Under the "Name of the address
book" is the word "Contacts" grayed out as well.

Verify that you are using Internet Mail Only mode of Outlook.
If so, enable sharing in the Tools menu of OE's Address Book.
