The "file" is not corrupt. The profile is. Create a new one.

I removed the profile via mail in control panel and created a new one. No
change, problem still there.

I'm using exchange server does this affect the problem?

Also using VISTA PRO 32

Thanks

The ability to remove the Outlook Address Book directly from an open profile
was overlooked and is no longer possible in Outlook 2007. There would be no
need to remove it unless it wasn't working, in which case you must create a
new profile to restore it.

When you created the new profile, did you give it a unique name? How did you
migrate your Data file to the new profile? Are you saying that the profile
contains the Outlook Address Book in Tools Account Settings Address Book
and yet the properties for your default Contacts Folder do not allow you to
select it as an electronic address book?

Yes gave it a unique name.

migrated data using mail setup in control panel, account settings, data
files by browsing to the folder containing my outlook.pst (size 1,6 GB) file
and then restarted outlook.

I have also tried creating the data file from scratch in a new profile from
my exchange server but same results.

I,m not allowed to select the folder, it is allready ticked off and greyed
out in both above cases.
