Open the Outlook Address Book (OAB). This really isn't an address book
but a container of contact-type folders that have been configured for
inclusion in this container. Do you see any contacts in the OAB? If
not, is there a drop-down list to select different contact folders in
the OAB? If so, select a different one and see if contacts show up. If
contacts show up when selecting a different container, you need to
change which is the default contact folder. That's the part I'm fuzzy
on. I think you use the Mail applet in Control Panel to look at address
books (you can there, too, from data management in Outlook, I think) and
select what is the order from where you get contacts.
Each contact-folder you want to show up in the OAB must be enabled to
show up there. Look at the properties of the contact-type folder and
make sure under the OAB tab that it is enabled for inclusion in the oAB.
