Default Addressing emails


I just moved my Outlook 2003 files to a new laptop. However, when I go
to send a new email message and try to address it by selecting the
little book icon at the To: location, I keep getting the following
message:

"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 information on
how to remove this folder from Outlook Address Book, see Microsoft
Outlook Help."

I am not using an exchange server; I have followed the steps to show my
contacts folder as an email address book, but that hasn't made any
difference. Any suggestions?

State the steps you used to migrate your data and configure the address book
so we can figure out what you did wrong.

I exported my local copy of emails, folders and contacts from my old
computer and imported them into Oulook on the new computer. I then
went in to make sure the files were listed in the data file management
area. I can access email on local, I can replicate to comcast and
download new email but I can't address any new email from Outlook.

No wonder. In this group you will find countless posts that tell why you
should never use export and import to transfer Outlook data. I can't
understand why people think they should. It makes no sense. Not only do you
lose data, you also fail to connect the data that you do manage to transfer
to your new Outlook profile.
You already had an Outlook Data file. You just copy that file and open it in
the other installation of Outlook. Set it as your default. Then you will be
able to use it as intended, including in your address book service.
