Still inexplicable since the Outlook Address Book cannot contain anything
that is not in a Contacts Folder.
Just remove and re-add the Outlook Address Book from your profile to reset
your connections. That won't risk losing any data. Make sure you restart
Outlook in between.

What am I supposed to reset my autoarchive folder to? It is already set
for archive.pst.
Some of the names & addresses are different from the Outlook Address Book
and the Contacts Folder. The Contacts folder doesn't have my distrubution
lists in it.

It helps a bit. You still did not answer what information appears in the
Outlook Address Book that does not also appear in one of your Contacts
Folders.
Nor what the result of resetting your autoarchive folder is.

In the list from Contacts that shows when I click the Address Book icon,
I see names, display names, email addresses, and distribution lists.

When I click on the Address Book icon on the toolbar, in the show names
from box, it says Contacts and my current list shows. If I click the
down arrow then right click on "Outlook Address book" to get the
properties, it says "No entries in this Address Book" and I get 2 error
messages. One is "Property dialog box could not be displayed. An attempt
was made to open an unsupported property." The next message has the same
1st sentence followed by "Action could not be completed."

If I right-click on Contacts for the properties, the jGeneral tab says:
Information: Archive Folders and Contact folder: Contacts.

If I right-click the Address Book Folder (under Outlook today), it says
the location is Archive Folders. On the AutoArchive tab, "Do not archive
items in this folder" is checked.

If I right-click the Contacts Folder from the same list, it says: "Type:
Folder containing contact Items, Location Archive Folders, Description:
Contacts Comment".
The Outlook Address Book Tab says: "Show this folder as an email Address
Book. Name of AB: Contacts."

If I go to Tools, Options, Other, AutoArchive, it says it moves old
items to C:...\Microsoft\Outlook\archive.pst. Isn't that my Archive
Folder?
I hope that helps.
