can see contacts list but cannot link when sending mail

[dalesmith]

I Installed outlook on a new machine. I copies over my old pst files and
renamed the files so that outlook would find the old data. Everything
connected correctly. All my mail, tasks, contacts and calendar are there are
viewable.

When I send an email and click to TO button, I see nothing.

How can I re-link the contacts so I can use them to send email?

No wonder. Overwriting files and renaming them is the worst possible way to
transfer data. It will insure you have a corrupted Outlook profile every
time. Post your Outlook version if you need help and I'll post the correct
way to transfer data for the current version:
