outlook 2003 question: contacts/address book related

[theNEOone]

i just migrated to a new computer at work, and copied my *.pst over. mail and contacts were transferred over correctly, but if i type a contact's name in the address find field, nothing shows up. it used to work fine in my old machine. also, when i prepare a new email and i click "to" to select recipients, none of my contacts show up. this is strange because if i select the conctacts icon within outlook, i can see my entire address book. i did try selecting a different address book from the drop down menu of the "select names" window but there's only a single address book listed, and it's blank.

help?

First thing to do is right-click your contacts in Outlook and go to Properties and make sure that "Show this folder as an email Address Book" is checked...or whatever it says

That's probably why you aren't seeing it listed. Once you can see it listed, you can open your address book (ctrl+shift+B) -> go to "tools/options" -> and change the behaviour of your contacts list.

Hope this helps.

When you created the .pst did you check the box that says "include subfolders" ?
