I've had a lot of email requests for the fix for the Outlook Contact/Address Book problem. Wherein when you click on the Address Book or the To: in a new message, you don't see your contacts.

Here is the fix:

Close Outlook
Right Click on the Outlook Icon
Properties
Email Accounts
Under Directory
View or Change existing directories or address books
Next
Click on Outlook Address Book
Remove
Finish
Close
Open Outlook
Close Outlook
Right Click Shortcut
Properties
Directories
Add a new directory or address book
Next
Additional Address Books
Next
Select Outlook Address Book
Next
Okay
Close
Open Microsoft Outlook
Right Click on Contacts
Properties
Outlook Address Book Tab
Check the box that reads "Show this folder as an email address book
Okay

That's it. Please keep in mind that this works for Outlook 2000 and XP. The steps for other version of Outlook will vary, but the premise is the same. I hope this helps many of you!
