In Outlook 2000 on Windows 98SE
I have added contacts and want to create a distribution list
I go File->New->Distribution list

Then click Select Members.
In the drop down list box next to the text "Show names from the:" there is
nothing!! I expect to be able to set it to the Contacts folder but when I
open the list box nothing is there.

Any ideas? Thanks

Is the Contacts Folder enabled as an email address book in its properties?

No but the "Show this folder as an e-mail address book" option is greyed
out, so disables and I can not change it.


How do I enable it?

Add the Outlook Address Book Service to your profile.

Thanks, That fixed it right up.
