Hey guys, I have a slight problem. I have outlook 2003 with a bunch of contacts in my contact folder. It used to be that when I started to compose a new message that I could just click on the "To:" button and it would bring up a contact manager that I could select email addresses from. But now when I click on the button, all the names are missing. I checked my contacts folder and all the names are still there, but their missing when I click on the "To:" button. I think there is some connection between word and outlook or something that might have been messed up somehow. Can anyone help me?
 
View your folder list. Right click on the Contacts folder and go to properties. Go to the Outlook Address Book Tab and check the Show this folder as an e-mail address book box. When you create a new message, and click on TO: make sure that Contacts is in the Show names from the: dropdown box.

Let me know if this helps.
