Contacts Don't Appear in the Address Book

[Jim]

I have several contacts listed in the contacts section of OL 2003, but if I
go to the Address Book, in the drop down that says "Show names from the
file" and I select "Contacts", nothing shows up.

I've tried the solution form MS with the same name as my subject line above.
EVerything is set the same. One of my other users' pc's is just fine. How
can I see the contacts when I look in the address book?

Thanks!
Jim

You failed to post what you tried. The solution in the KB works if done
correctly.

I discovered what went wrong!

The link you posted said the same thing I found everywhere else I looked
(newgroups, MS Office Online, etc.) and I had the pc with the correct
settings. But one of the last lines in your link's instructions said: 'there
must be an email address or a fax number in the contact in order for it to
show up in the address book.' My contacts had neither! There must have been
an error in the export/import from the old pc.

After exporting from the old pc again, everything is ok. Thanks for you
help.
