This is a very common problem that has been addressed here countless times.
You have corrupted your Outlook Address Book Service. We don't know how
because you haven't told us. We don't even know what Outlook version you are
using. If you can't find one of the many posts here that answer your
question, then at least provide us the courtesy of posting enough
information to help you.

Somehow, I have two "contact" files... one has date, the default one
does
not... in other words, if I try "carolsm" in the email address line, it
should find ... but it doesn't. it asks
me
to
find the address and when I use the drop down list is shows
"Outlook Address Book" (empty)
"Outlook" (empty)
"Outlook" (has data, but isn't being accessed)

Does this help: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/287563/en-us
