It is necessary for you to post your Outlook version for us to provide an
answer. For Outlook 2002 and 2003 just remove the invalid reference he
Tools E-mail accounts View or change existing directories or address
books Outlook Address Book Change.
If you remove the wrong one, just remove the other and add back the first.

My contacts seem to have gotten slightly messed up. If I pick contacts
on the left pane, it all looks normal, but if I go to toolsaddress
book I can select between "Outlook Address Book", "contacts", or
"contacts" (two instances of contacts). Only the second instance of
contacts has any actual contacts. When I go to send an E-mail and
click "to", I have to pick between two copies of contacts too. How do
I merge this all into one, or simply get rid of the bad one? I could
delete one under toolsaddress booktoolsoptions, but they are both
called "contacts" so I'm afraid I'll delete the wrong one.
"Properties" has no useful information. Thanks.
