We are running Windows 2003 and Exchange 2003.  Our DCs are also Windows
2003.  I have a user that is Local Administrator on her system and we just
upgraded her system from Office 2000 to Office 2003.  When she creates a new
email msg. and clicks the "To:" button she can not see her "Contacts" folder
as an address book option.

When she right clicks on the Exchange "Contacts" folder in Outlook and goes
to the "Properties" page then the "Outlook Address book" tab the option
"Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book" is unchecked and grayed out.
Anyone have any ideas?

Thnaks for any and all help.

You have to install the Outlook address book, go into the control panel -->
mail and vie or edit and account then add another address book --> outlook
address book

Hey Jeff, that worked!  Thank you VERY much.  I always wanted to know what
the "Outlook address book" option was for.
