I travel a lot and bring my laptop with me. &nbsp;I transfer the &quot;Outlook.pst&quot; file and use it while on the road. &nbsp;I have a new laptop this trip, and I'm not able to &quot;find&quot; my address book when I start a new email message and click on &quot;to&quot; to find the address I'm looking for. &nbsp;My address book IS under the &quot;contact&quot; list in Outlook, it just won't show up in a &quot;new message&quot; screen when I click on &quot;to&quot; or &quot;cc&quot; etc. &nbsp;How can I make this work??

I travel a lot and bring my laptop with me.  I transfer the "Outlook.pst" file and use it while on the road.  I have a new laptop this trip, and I'm not able to "find" my address book when I start a new email message and click on "to" to find the address I'm looking for.  My address book IS under the "contact" list in Outlook, it just won't show up in a "new message" screen when I click on "to" or "cc" etc.  How can I make this work??

How can I set up the correct address book in Outlook after I've moved the outlook.pst file to my laptop?
