Default HELP! Lost Contacts

Hi...

A friend of mine's PC came up with a slew of "lost clusters" and it took XP
nearly 20 minutes to re-resolve all the problems. PC was pretty messed up
but I was able to save off her OUTLOOK.PST file. From there I put the XP CD
in, reformatted, and re-installed XP HOME. Then I installed her Office 2003
(Small Business I think)... and copied the (saved) OUTLOOK.PST over the
newly created one (from running her re-installed Outlook once).

Now... her messages show up fine... Inbox, Sent, etc... and Outlook
sends/receive just fine too. However, when she wants to create a new
message... she has no Address Book.

How do I go about re-linking the CONTACTS folder back into Outlook??

I seem to remember something about going to the Contacts folder and
selecting Properties... but I don't remember more than that anymore. I
won't be near her PC til later today or tomorrow... so I can't even play
around with it yet.

Thanks in advance for any help!!
Steve
