Sounds like you need to remove references to the old Contact folder and
readd a reference to the current one (even though it's the same folder just
moved).

Remove:
- Tools menu Email accounts View/Change existing address
books/directories Click Next
- Highlight Outlook Address Book
- Click Change
- Remove all "Contact" folders shown
- OK out of dialogs

Add:
- right click on the Contacts folder
- choose Properties
- go to the Outlook Address Book tab
- check the "Show this folder as an email address book" box

Vince, thank you for a very helpful post. In my Outlook 2003 I had the same
problem and your post fixed it perfectly.

The only thing I found is that after making your suggested changes I had to
close and re-start Outlook for the changes to take affect.

Thank you once again.
regards
Sean.
