Can someone send me the article on how to do this, my key word searches are
returning articles that don't apply.

Thanks
Darrell

The Outlook Address Book is a virtual view of your contacts folder and has no separate existence. Please explain further why what you want to do is not already done by default in Outlook.

And include your Outlook version, ALWAYS, when asking a question in an Outlook group.

Answered in your other post. No need to post multiple times. This post is
too vague for anyone to answer.

Hi Russ:

Its no more vague than your answer. I understand the difficulty of getting
help via discussion boards hence i make videos and post them to youtube so
you see what I'm dealing with but what I see on my screen is not what you
tell me should be there so I'm just repeating what you say in the form of
question in this post.

Ciao
Darrell

I don’t do you tube... but if you'd try to explain, I'd try to help.
Including the thread in your reply makes it easier too.

You tube doesn't require log-in or registration its public domain. A picture
is worth a thousand words. Several contacts in outlook are not displayed in
Address book view. THANKS for helping.

If I hit the little icon to the left and search for Michael Lami he's not
there. If I use the search bar next to the address book Michael Lami is
displayed as found in contacts and his full-view contact window is displayed
when I select him via that method of search.

The problem is that I want to add him to a distribution list but he's not in
the address book view so I can't. Why isn't the address book view accurate
or synced with the contacts? In adddress book view tools options this is
what I see and I'm not utilizing business contact manager as of yet it's just
installed.

As others have tried to explain, the address book (seen when you click To or
the address book icon) is a virtual address book containing only electronic
addresses. In the paper world, this address book would be a desk drawer and
each contact folder or other address source is a book, envelopes with return
addresses, or business cards tossed in the drawer.

Go to folder list (Ctrl+6) - how many contact folders are there? If more
than one, right click, properties... is each one enabled as an outlook
address book? If so, open the address book (using the little icon) and look
on its tools, options dialog - are all the contact folders in the list of
address lists to search?

Does Mr. Lami's contact have an email address or fax #? The address book
contains on the only contacts with electronic addresses - email address and
fax #, since its only used for sending electronic messages. The Contacts has
everyone you add to it, an electronic address is not required.

He forgot to tell you he installed BCM. Look at the dialogs he has in the
address book view. That changes everything.

You know, Russ, I don't "go" anywhere (links, web sites, etc.) to see all of the information that should be in a post. Answering properly formed questions with complete information in the post is time consuming enough. If someone can't be bothered to formulate the question with complete details without making someone jump through hoops, then my time is best spent elsewhere.

And don't get me started on TinyURL links - no way in heck will I EVER click on an unknown link in a news group.

I agree. I didn't go anywhere. Once he finally posted the dialogs that he
sees in the address book view, I could see where the problem was. Before
then, we had no clue he had installed BCM.
