If you cannot tick the box (it may be greyed out), have a read of Russ
Valentine's almost daily posted instructions on how to fix your Contacts
after you incorrectly move Outlook data.

Oh and you forgot to mention your version - rather crucial in most Outlook
issues! Here are some tips about how to post questions:

My hard drive recently crashed and a new one installed. I had been
fortunate
that prior to the crash I copied my address book in contacts to a pst
file.
I successfully imported the pst file and the contacts appear as they
should
under the contacts tab of outlook. The way that I have these organized is
I
have four different contact files. I had thought of them as folders.
Prior
to the crash, I could create a new email, hit the "TO" button, select the
address book that contained the email and send the email without a
problem.
Now, I hit the "TO" button and only one of the address books displays, the
one titled "Contacts". I tried to "FIND" a contact in the other books
without success. Is there anything I can do to get these other books to
display - without having to recreate all the addresses?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Brian
