It's odd that it comes and goes with the same profile. Go to Address Book's
Tools, Options and remove all of the Contacts folder then click Add to add
yours back.

the dialog - it's the first one.

Russ, thanks for the reply. I only pop in here when I have a problem and
was not aware that this is a problem that gets resolved daily.

To be clear, when I compose an e-mail and use the 'To ...' field, I see a
new window with Address Book (in bold as a field header) and under that -
Outlook address book with Contacts as a sub heading, nothing else.

The problem seems to have vanished but then again it always does when I
close Outlook 2007 and then reopen it.

Thanks, Dave Horne

Answered daily. You have invalid entries for folders in your address book
view. Remove the ones that no longer apply.

I open Outlook 2007 (Vista Home Premium, SP2, up to date), start to
compose an e-mail and click on 'To ... ' only to see a long message which
starts with, 'The address list cannot be displayed. The Contacts folders
associated with this address list could not be opened ... etc. '

Now, I close down Outlook 2007, reopen it and then the that error
message does not appear and I can choose addresses from my Contacts
list.

What's the story here?

Thanks, Dave Horne
