So what did "just installed Win 7" have to do with all this?
What exactly did you do to migrate your Outlook data and configure your
address book view after you changed your operating system?
Was this a new installation of Outlook?

Just installed Win7.

Outlook works fine in all respects except that I have no address book.
Contacts tab works fine so long as I manually use one of the contacts
e-mail addresses, Outlook seems to cache it for future use which means
I
can start a New Mail msg, type in a partial e-mail name of a previously
used address from contacts, and it comes up.

However, the address book is completely blank and suggests I "contact
your Microsoft Exchange Administrator" to access the address book.

FWIW, in the services area, I don't see any Outlook services to start
or
stop.

TIA.

1. I don't normally connect to an Exchange server. This is a home-built
Win7-64 bit Professional computer with an ASUS P6T motherboard and 6 GB's
of memory ... a desktop at home.
2. Yes, it is a POP3 account that is probably incorrectly set up. I'll
check that.

Thanks for you help, Kathleen.
I looked at every setting on Outlook setup and it referred to POP3 except
that it showed the Address Book as "MAPI", whatever that means. When
attempting a search in the "To:" field, it said I should open an address
book (the selection screen is blank) or contact my MSFT Exchange
administrator. BTW, this is Outlook 2007.

Thanks.
