Outlook on two computers - one OWA

[sb104]

I have Outlook on my PC at work to access my OWA, this has my calendar and
contacts in it from OWA. I have also set up a profile in Outlook on my
personal PC to access my OWA, but I am having a problem with my contacts -
they are sitting in contacts but when I create a new email and click on To:
to access contacts it tells me that the address book is not associated with
the contacts and then opens the address book and there is nothing there, does
anyone know why this is happening?

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.

If you are using Outlook 2007 and the the checkbox is grayed, you'll need to
make a new profile as you can't add the Outlook Address Book service due to
a bug.
