I'll defer to others then. )

While waiting for a better answer, I might try making sure it's all patched
and maybe a Detect and Repair from the Help menu.

Hi,
Thanks for the advice, but it didn't work. When I checked for the address
book service, it was already there. For step 2, when I went to mark my
contact folder for use with the address book, the check wasn't already
marked. So I marked it. But it still doesn't show up in the folder list. I
think that's the main problem. There is no contacts folder in my folder
list.
I can only see it when I open the "contacts" tab in the navigation pane.
I've
tried to add a folder in my personal folder called "contacts," it says it
already exists. But it's not there! Any other advice?

I just got a new laptop and I copied my .pst from my old computer to the
new
one. My email messages and tasks copied fine. My contacts also copied
over. I
can see them in the contacts folder when I click on the "contacts" tab
(in
the Navigation pane). However, the folder does not show in my personal
file.
I have no idea what happened to it! Whenever I try to open an address
book,
or try to use the "to" in a message, I get this error:

"The address list could not be displayed. The contacts folder
associated
with this list could not be opened; it may have been moved or deleted,
or
you
do not have permissions. For information on how to remove this folder
from
the Outlook Address Book, see Microsoft Office Outlook help."

I've tried to create a new folder in my personal file, but it's still
not
liniking the contacts I have. Then I figured I'd just retype them all
in.
But
it won't even let me add contacts. When I try to I get the same error
message.

I've tried everything I could think of, but can't figure this one out.
Any
suggestions? I'm desparate!!!
