Contact List Not Available?

[Sean]

Hello,

I have an install of Outlook 2002 That does not
display "Contacts" as an available option from the "Show
names from the" pull down menu when selecting To: in a new
message.

In addition in the properties for Contacts under "Outlook
Address Book" the option to "Show this folder as an E-mail
address book" is greyed out and unselectable..

Any ideas how to remedy this problem?

Thanks

You need to add the Outlook Address Book service to your profile by
selecting Tools | E-Mail Accounts | View or change existing Directories or
Address Books | Next | Add

You'll have to restart Outlook when finished.

One more question on this Russ, how does one now make it the default
(list).
