Save me from my memory!!
Upon recovering from a crash, I upgraded to Outlook 2002 and imported
my (backup) .PST files. Everything looks and works the same except for one issue: Although I can see, go to and manipulate my contacts folder, when addresing an email (pressing the "To" button), Outlook states "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, or you do not have permissions. For more information on how to remove this folder from the Outlook Address Book, see Microsoft Outlook Help.". I Looked up the path of the .PST file and it's where it's supposed to be. I make quarterly archives and I can load THEM and have the same problem. I'm the only one on this computer, the administrator and presumably have the resiquite permissions. My goal is NOT to "remove this folder from the Outlook Address Book" as that (to me) implies removing the .PST and Geeze, in any case, I'm having to memorize my ex-wifes' email address!

One of many problems created by importing PST's. In the future, configure
Outlook to use your previous PST, don't import it. This problem is easy to correct by removing and re-adding the Outlook Address Book Service. It won't touch your PST file, it will just repair the connection between the Outlook Address Book and your Contacts Folder. Make sure you restart Outlook in between removal/re-adding and again after you are through. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] wrote in message ...
