You're welcome. Glad it worked. A lot of users have trouble with the Outlook
Address Book in Outlook 2007 if they didn't migrate their data correctly.
Glad you did.

Russ,

I spoke too soon. I am helping a lady (new to computing) get up and running
with Outlook 2007 and I thought your reference would sort the problem out BUT
no success.

Under the Address Book tab it shows as Contacts so I went to mark the
Contact folder for use as an e-mail address book. The tick box was ticked BUT
greyed out. So I thought we had been succesful but no.

Where can you suggest I try next to solve the problem of the Contacts not
being listed when the "To" button is pressed in an e-mail?

You may need to set up a new mail profile to resolve this issue. Control
Panel-Mail Icon-Profiles-New. Do not copy the old profile. Configure
the new profile to use your old data store.

Milly,

I set up a new profile and configered it to read the original Outlook data
file, as you sugggested. However, when I went to mark the Contact folder for
use as an e-mail address book. The tick box was ticked but still greyed out.
The result is that the list box is blank when you press the "To" button in a
new e-mail. Any other suggestions?
