IMO actually uses Outlook Express for its address book function. Is it just
the address book that's not working? Do your Contacts still have their email
addresses?

Hi Russ,

Thanks for your reply.

My Outlook is set up for Internet Mail Only. I have the original .pst
file,
but it won't open due to it's size. I made a copy of it and used the MS
utility to reduce its size and then ran the inbox repair tool on it.
Outlook
would then open it, but that's when I found that the contact information
for
the names in the address book was gone.

I hope this helps.

Thanks again.

Do you back up your data?
You need to provide more accurate version information. Outlook 2000
existed
in two complete different modes. Which are you using? Corp/Workgroup or
Internet Mail Only?

Hello,

I recently had a problem in which I had to use the inbox repair tool to
repair my .pst file. After which, my address book no longer had the
contact
information in it. The names were listed, but no information
accompanied
them. After searching for answers and trying everything from repairs to
reinstalls, nothing worked. All the information is in the contact list
(folder), but not the address book. Even the "Show this folder as an
e-mail
address book" option in the folder properties is checked, but grayed
out.

I desperately need to restore the information, but can't find a method
to
do
it. I can't even print the contact list/information for re-entry.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.
