I am using Outlook 2003 and when I try to retrieve an email address from my
contacts I get an error message which says;

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 clicking on OK a blank contacts box is displayed, if I then select the
second contacts option from the drop-down box I can see my data. Could any
one tell me how to remove the first contacts entry so I go straight to my
data.

Many thanks,


Michael.

It is a carefully hidden feature that no one has ever been able to find on
their own:
