Hi, am using Outlook 2003. There was a problem and I reinstalled outlook.
Managed to recover data on my various folders via my backup but now I
cannot
simply click address book to use the contacts. Those contacts shown in my
contact folder but when composing new message, I click "TO", message
appear:
"Address list could not displayed as the folder maybe remove or deleted."

How to recreate the contacts folder?

Or where is the contacts floder hiding? so that I could find and use
it.....
