Not sure what you mean. Contacts and address book are one in the same. There
is no way and no need to add one to the other. Clarify your post.

I click on "new" add in the persons name, email address, phone number,
address ect. When I am finished I click on "save and close". This is when
the message comes up

Could note complete the operation. One or more parameter vales are not valid.

I have now realized the same thing happens if I wanted to add a meeting into
my calendar.

Note I am using Outlook 2003 if that helps

Thank you

Hi Russ I do not remember having a problem with Outlook in the past.
Unfortunately I do not have a back up and I do not sync the data.

Is there any thing I can do to correct this problem?

There are numerous causes for this message. Do you know what steps caused it
in the first place? I assume Outlook did work correctly at one time, right?
If so, what changes were made before this started? Do you sync your Outlook
data? Do you back it up?
