Default Missing address book

I have just restored my mail file after my machine crashed. I have
Outlook 2003 on win xp. I am able to send and receive mail. However
when I am
starting a new email and click on the "to" field, there is no email
address show up on the select names box. I checked the "contacts"
section, all my contacts are there. I try to add a new contact but the

new contact is not showing up on the select name box either. I think
the link might be broken or missing.

Any help is appreciated. Thx.

Default Missing address book

Select your Contacts folder, click 'Properties', goto the "Outlook Address
Book" tab, and make sure the "Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book"
checkbox is checked. If the checkbox is unchecked and grayed out, you need
to add the Outlook Address Book service. To do this go to 'Tools|E-mail
Accounts|View or change existing directories or address
books|Next|Add|Additional Address Books|Next', select Outlook Address Book,
and click next.

Contact information does not appear in the address book in Outlook 2002 and
Outlook 2003
