Help Please – Outlook 2002

I am using Outlook 2002 (I will upgrade when OS7 comes out). I don’t
normally use Outlook but I am planning of buying an iPhone and need to unify
info. It will not be my email program but my “PDA†Contacts and Calendar.

My desktop is where I’ll input most data and generally (not generally) sync
with the iPhone.
I also have a laptop I would like to contain the same info. I am using
mainly Contacts and Calendar, sometimes notes. I don’t want to use Apple’s
MobilMe service, so I will just copy over the outlook.pst file between the
two computers.

I transferred the pst file over to my laptop. Everything appears to
“sync\jive†with the desk top but there is one (admittedly) small problem
that is perplexing me. The problem is: When I use the Find A Contact box on
the laptop it doesn’t work and I have t use the FIND option which is a bit
funkier to use.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Do you see the contacts if you press To on an new email message?

If you have Contacts in the Contacts folder but they are not accessible when
you click on the To button, check these settings:

Make sure the Contact folder is enabled as an email address book. Right
click the Contacts folder, choose Properties then Outlook Address Book. Is
the box to enable as email address book is checked?

If this is grayed out...

Go to Tools | Email Accounts, choose View or change existing directories or
address book. Is the Outlook Address Book present? If it isn't listed, add
it and close and restart Outlook. If it is listed, then remove it and close
then restart Outlook and repeat these steps to add it.

Thank you VERY much. It did the trick. Sorry it took so long to try your
suggestion, was away.
