Thread: Outlook 2007 will not show my contacts in address book

Outlook 2007 will not show my contacts in address book
nw23lu 12/23/2008 6:01:00 AM
I have followed the directions and tried to show this folder as an email
address book but it is grayed out and wont allow me to select it. I decided
it would be better
to just start over and do a new contacts folder, it wont allow it, I even
tried to delete it and it wont allow that either. I had the Fire Dog people
reload the software and reimport my files as well.... Any suggestions?

That's the problem - importing. I suggest you don't let "Fire Dog" (whoever
they are) NEAR your computer if that's what they do.
Create a new mail profile - (Control Panel-Mail-Show Profiles-Add) and
attach the existing pst file to it. See if that helps.

Can't really help. You posted no information. Quoting an article number
tells us nothing. State precisely which steps you followed. Make sure you
also specify how you created your new Outlook profile and how you migrated
data to it.

I do not have a "mail" under control panel in my computer. I am running
Vista, outlook 2007 and service pack 1. Someone decided that it would be
better to hide files so the user can't find them so I have no idea where my
..pst file is to attach. This is very frustrating...thanks for your help.
