I have reinstalled Outlook 2000 SR1 since my computer has just come back from being repaired. I imported my addresses into my Contacts folder, as I usually do, but they didn't go into my Outlook address book as they have in the past. How can I go about getting them into the Outlook address book? Thanx! Meri

I'm not running Win2k Outlook so I'm relying on my memory. Right click on contacts then click properties. One of the tabs, probably one that says "Outlook Address book" has a check box saying "Show this folder in my Address Book". Just check that box then when you go to your address book it should have a drop down box, choose contacts and that's it.

Maybe I'm using the wrong terminology. Maybe it's the Windows address book that I want to use. Anyway, when I used to write an e-mail and I'd bring up the address book to put a name into the "To" section, it would bring up the address book that would allow me to choose either my "group" or a single name. I no longer have that choice. It only brings up an address book that I'm not used to seeing...AND it used to be that when I would right click on the e-mail address of a person who had e-mailed me and click "add to contacts", the person would be entered into the contacts AND the address book. Now it only enters the person into the contacts and I have to do "double duty" each time and enter it into the address book, as well. There MUSTbe a way to get that other address book back and have things work the way they used to. Any help would be appreciated.
