MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / November 2005Can't get Contacts in Outlook Address book
I have recently transferred to my new computer, importing .pst from old Outlook2000. All outlook files and settings are working well, except when I try and acces the contacts list from a new email. I click on "To" or "CC' and the meassage "The address list could not be displayed. The Contacts list associated with the address list could not be opened it may have been removed or deleted......" The contacts list is accessable through Contacts. I have already followed the procedure of opeing properties of the Contacts folder and insuring that the "show this folder as an email address book" is checked under Outlook Address book, but still no joy in accessing contacts from a new email. > I have already followed the procedure of opeing properties of the > Contacts folder and insuring that the "show this folder as an email > address book" is checked under Outlook Address book, but still no joy > in accessing contacts from a new email. Then remove the Outlook Address Book from your mail profile, stop and restart Outlook, and add the OAB service back in.  SignatureBrian Tillman Hello, I'm using Outlook 2003 and am having the same problem as missing pieces. AND I removed the Outlook Address Book from the profile, stopped and restarted Outlook, and then added the OAB service back in. When I went to the email directory wizard to add a new directory or address book, and selected "Additional Address Books", and selected "Outlook Address Book", I got the following dialog popup: "This account or directory typr already exists and cannot be specified twice.

Well if you'd already added the Outlook Address Book to your profile, it would stand to reason that you cannot add it again. Seems to me that all you need to do now is enable any Contacts Folder you would like to appear in your Outlook Address Book as an email address book. R click any such folder and look at its Properties... SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Hello, I'm using Outlook 2003 and am having the same problem as missing > pieces.

Was unable to enable the contacts folder, so I ended up just starting a whole new profile and importing the outlook.pst from earlier today. The OAB now works as an email address book - which is the result I wanted. Thanks. (sorry about the multi-posting!)

Never import a PST. Just open it. SignatureBrian Tillman It's working now, though. Will remember for next time.
