In my many years of using H/PC, PPC, and WM5/6, it shouldn't make a
difference - if it isn't resolved, the entries on the PPC would not have
made it across to populate a new Outlook installation, which at present
are all present and accounted for.

Not resolved in PPC, but in Outlook.

| Sorry. I forgot to mention that I added my personal accounts to see if
| this problem could be resolved with email accounts - not that it made
| a difference to the problem
|
| Yes, they are all resolved (according to my PPC's ActiveSync). If
| addresses aren't, I don't think either WMDC or ActiveSync would have
| transferred entries successfully from PPC to Outlook in the first
| place (and vice versa)
|
| Is there a way to run the wizard that loads the first time a user runs
| Outlook? Or is that not relevant?

| | If you open your contacts folder, are the addresses added from your
| mobile device resolved? If not, resolve them and then see if they
| show up in your address book.
|
| By the way, you made no mention in your first post that you had added
| mail accounts after all without waiting for your IT guy to do it.

|
|| Thanks. Actually I knew the behavior you described, but the problem
|| is that no entry is visible even AFTER I have added email accounts.
||
|| I did forget to mention if I add a new entry to Contacts it is
|| visible under Address Book, but not my existing entries synchronized
|| from my PPC (on WM6). I have about 300 categorized entries in
|| Outlook Contacts, even more on the PPC since it's mixed with Live
|| Messenger contacts, customized with photo and ringtones and all, and
|| I don't feel like entering them from scratch.
||
|| Will running the setup wizard (the one that appears when OL is first
|| installed) again help? I can't find anything on how to run it again

|| || With no email configured, you don't need an address book service
|| since it is only used to send items via email.
||
|| Your contacts folder has all of your addresses, electronic or not,
|| and is the default repository for addresses AND contacts. Your
|| address book is a virtual view of your contacts folder that contains
|| only contacts with electronic addresses used for sending email and
|| faxes.

||| Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1
|||
|||
||| Got my new Windows Vista computer. I installed Office/Outlook 2003
||| SP1, then updated to SP2, and Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1. I
||| ran Outlook and I elected to have setup wizard configured it as No
||| Email - planning to leave that for my office IT guy to add my email
||| accounts later. I then connected my PPC to the computer to sync
||| with Contacts etc., and that went without problem - all entries
||| present and accounted for in Contacts folder.
|||
||| But then I noticed there was no entry in Address Book.
|||
||| I have tried the following without success:
||| 1. Rebuild Outlook Address Book service
||| 2. Reinstall Office 2003
||| 3. Create a 2nd Contacts folder and added new entries
|||
||| What else can I do? How can I show my Contacts in Address Book?
||| Thanks a million!
