we just reinstalled xp due to virus. restored.

had to reinstall outlook 2000 email from disk.

problem: contacts (on exhange server) show up but not in send button box...
how can we fix this.
 
Most likely you have to set up Outlook to use contacts as an address book. Right-click contacts in the folder window and chooose properties. Click on the Outlook Address Book and check the box "Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book"

This will allow you to change address books in the send window so you can use your contacts.

only changed order of viewing when sending a message - no help (thanks though)

my Outlook doesn't recognize the server contacts that I have placed in subfolders underneath the "Contact folder
 
You need to set each Contacts folder via the method cckens mentioned. Each has a checkbox on the Outlook Address Book tab.
