I think I goofed. I unchecked the boxes for my Contacts folders to be
listed as Outlook Address Books. The "AH Contacts" was never a folder
-- it was the label on the rolodex-icon in the left pane. Now when I
create a new email, click the icon on the TO line, I get the
following: "The address book could not be displayed ... " and then
the Outlook Address Book opens, blank.
I still cannot get my Outlook Contacts to open.
