I don't know about Outlook 2003 but in Outlook XP you had to add a
"Outlook Address Book" before you could check show this "Show this
folder as a email address book".

Subject: [THIN] Outlook 2003 and contacts folder behaviour
Hi guys,
I'm wondering if anyone can shed light on a little problem I'm having
with Outlook 2003 and the contacts folder. I can't seem to find
anything about it on the MS KB or the thin.net archives.
In outlook when you view the properties for your contacts folder there
is an option to tick called "show this folder in outlook address book"
(or similar text) in our environment this is greyed out.
Out environment is Win2K3 AD with GPO controlling what users can do,
with Metaframe XPe FR3 running on Win2K3 publishing Office 2003 SP1
standard apps.
I've had a poke around in the GPO's and can't see anything obvious (or
obtuse for that matter) that would be causing this. Does anyone know
if it's an Exchange setting?
Also, on what could be a related issue, users can't open vcards sent to
them
in Outlook 2003 but if they save the attachment and open it in notepad
it opens fine. The behaviour is very similar to the old outlook
attachment failing to open issue where users didn't have rights to the
temp dir, which they do in this case as we're using per user temp dirs
located in their profile.
Thanks
Tim
