When i try to look up a contact in Outlook, i get a message, "Outlook could
not find the requested contact." When i click on the address book icon,
Outlook says "The address list could not be displayed.  The contacts folder
associated with this address list could not be opened."  When i click on the
contacts shortcut in the navigation pane, i see my complete list of contacts.
I had to copy a back up version of my PST file into Outlook.  Outlook shows
all of my old emails, mail folders, deleted mails, etc.  In "Show names
from:"  in the Address Book dialogue window, it says "Contacts."  How do i
get my contacts to show up in my address book and the "find a contact"
function to work?  I have looked for answers in the MS KB, followed
instructions from Outlook help, etc.  This is taking a lot of time!

Need help.  Thanks in advance,  Tuck

You've made us try to guess far too much. You should post your Outlook
version and the steps you used to disconnect your Contacts from the Outlook
Address Book. None of this happened all by itself.
