Outlook 2002 isn't recognizing my contact file when sending email

[Guest]

I recently got a new computer and moved my Oulook file to it (it is POP3).
Everything involved in sending and recieving messages works fine except when
I compose a new message, my contact list isn't recognized. The To: and CC:
buttons don't show any available names. When I open the Contact folder
itself, I see all my contacts but somehow, Outlook doesn't seem to know where
to look when I want to address an email.

Right click on the Contacts folder, choose Properties and go to the Outlook
Address Book tab. Check the "Show this folder as an email address book" box

Thanks for the help, Vince. I'm back in business now.

Hi Vince, I tried this idea and the Show this Folder as an email address book
box is not available for me to select. It is greyed out. Any other ideas?
