My HD crashed and I've reinstalled Outlook. I copied my outlook.pst file to
the new program and all my messages and contacts were transferred. So far so
good.
The address book however does not recognize the new contact list. How do I
copy the contacts including my distribution lists to the address book. Also
how can I create more address books e.g. business, personal etc.
Kind of urgent, any help greatly appreciated as I'm very frustrated by this.
Thanks.

G'Day Buddy,

In Outlook:
View>Folder List (unless already visible)
Right-Click "Contacts"...choose "Properties"
"Outlook Address Book" (Tab)
Check the Box:
"Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book"

You guys are life savers, worked like a charm and then I remembered how I
did this already several years ago when I was still working, now happily
retired. Thank you very, very much.
