Hi Diane,

Menu bar - Tools - Address Book.

After looking through what I did, I realize that I did delete the address
book, but rather the names within the address book. I was having some other
issues, and I thought that if would clean out those contacts, they would get
repopulated from the actual contacts. I didn't realize that deleting the
contacts from that list would wipe out the email address from the contacts.

I don't see any way to "re-enable" anything. Can I recover the actual
contacts without recovering the entire Outlook.pst?

Thanks.

Daryl

Where did you delete it from? The address book is a virtual view of your
contacts folder. If you deleted it from a list in the actual address book
(what you see when you click To) then you only need to re-enable it - right
click on the contacts folder and choose properties then outlook address
book.

I lost all of my email address in my contacts. I deleted a address book,
and
that wiped out all of my email address. How do I recover those?

I make weekly backups, so I should be able to restore from backup, but I
don't know where the address book is kept, so I don't know which files I
need
to restore.

I have Vista and Office 2007

Thank you.
