Thanks for your help Brian.
I did this, but still, when I push "To" in a new mail, it tells me there is
not an address book associated with it. If I browse I see "Outlook address
book" which says there are no entrees in it. I can also see my contacts,
which has all the info.
Gordon, I checked through the help associated with Microsoft outlook, and
online techical pages and didn't see this process. I didn't know about the
resources you sited or this discussion group. If you are part of Microsoft,
then this would be feedback on the difficulty in finding the right info at
the right time.

Hi Brian, thanks for your help.
I did this:
Step 1: Install the Outlook Address Book service
To do this, follow these steps, as appropriate for the version of
Outlook that you are running.
Microsoft Outlook 2002 and Microsoft Office Outlook 2003
1. On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
2. Click to select View or change existing directories or address
books, and then click Next.
3. If your Outlook Address Book is listed, click Cancel, and then go
to the steps in the "How to Mark Your Contact Folder for Use with
Your Address Book" section.
and I found something called "outlook address book" in this location,
so I cancelled.
At this point, I would have removed the Outlook Address Book services,
stopped and restarted Outlook, then added the service back in again.
Then I did this:
Step 2: Mark your contact folder for use with your address book
1. On the File menu, point to Folder, and then click Properties for
your folder name.
2. On the Outlook Address Book tab, click to select the Show this
folder as an e-mail address book check box, type a descriptive name,
and then click OK.
on the inbox, but it did not display something called an "outlook
address book" tab.
Did you select the Contacts folder first before clicking
FileFolderProperties? You should also be able to right-click your
Contacts folder and choose Properties. You should see the Outlook Address
Book tab.
By the way, how are you supposed to bring data in if you don't import
it? I looked for instructions on the microsoft website, but couldn't
find any for anything but importing.
Simply reuse the PST. See this:
