Did you forget to enable your Contacts Folder as an email address book in
its properties so you could see it in the Address Book view?

Hi,
I've installed Outlook 2003 on my desktop and added a few contacts by
going
into the contacts section of outlook. Later while writing an email when i
click on the "To" or "cc" filed to insert address from my address book a
dialog box pops up with the following msg:
" The address list could not be displayed. The Contacts folder associated
with this address list could not be opened; it may have been moved or
deleted, or you do not have permissions."

After which I press OK and the "Select Names" dialog box opens for
inserting
the addresses but none of the contacts I added in the contacts section of
outlook appear here.

Please help.....
