I take that back. The contacts worked from the TO line until I closed
Outlook and reopened it. Now, again, I get the message that the
Contacts folder is not linked to my email addresses. I'm about to
tear my hair out!
The contacts are stored in the PST file -- right? Then they should be
in my OUTLOOK.PST file, which is on the D
rive -- where it has been
for months.
In the C
ocuments & Settings folder, I have some Outlook files under
Local Settings and some under Application Data. Other Outlook files
are on the D: drive in the same folder as my OUTLOOK.PST.
When I compose a new email, click TO - it opens to Contacts; there is
nothing there. I can drop-down and select the next line, also called
Contacts, and find a lot of Contacts that seem to be from June. They
contain duplicates, which I weeded out in early July. Although I can
SEE the names of those contacts, I am not allowed to select them.
So it appears that I have two CONTACTS someplace; one empty, and
another old. The "real" contacts seems to have gone missing entirely.
Is there anyway to fix this fine mess?

||Is your Outlook Address Book service installed correctly? If it does show, then remove it, close Outlook, re-add it, close and restart Outlook. See any one of Russ' answers for how to configure the Outlook Address Book Service for step by step directions.
||
||If this does not fix it, then try a new mail profile.

||| The exact message is:
|||
||| ========================
||| MICROSOFT OUTLOOK
||| 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, dor you do not have permissions. For
||| information on how to reomve this folder from the Outlook Address

||| ========================
|||
|||
||| My PST is on Drive D. It works. The Office/Outlook program is on
||| Drive C, with settings files in Documents & Settings. Everything
||| works, except I cannot access Contacts while creating an email. As
||| regard the "help" message, I don't think I want to remove any folders
||| frm the Outlook Address Book. I want my Outlook Address Book to be
||| available everywhere in Outlook -- on my pop3 account, on the alias
||| pop3 account, and on my IMAP account.
