Contacts as Outlook Address Book

[Guest]

I have recently set up my work email on my home computer (Outlook 2000). It
will not allow me to set up my Contacts folder as an address book. The option
is "grayed" out. Outlook 2003 is used at work. Is there a way I can "force"
Outlook to recognize my Contacts folder as an Outlook Address Book or is it
some kind of setting on the exchange server?

Any and all help is greatly apreciated.

Did you add the Outlook Address Book to your Profile?

I believe there are some incompatabilities when you use both Outlook 2003
and Outlook 2000 against the same Exchange mailbox, so make sure Exchange is
up-to-date.
