MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2006I've lost my Address Book
I would really appreciate any help here. I'm using Outlook 2002. I temporarily copied my .PST file to an external HD while my PC needed to be serviced. When I got my PC back, I copied that .PST file (which had been updated as I used Outlook on another PC). Everything looked OK (i.e., I could see all my personal folders, new and old messages, etc.) except for the Address Book functions. When I choose Tools / Address Book, it says "No Entries in this Address Book". When I try and add an entry it says "You Cannot Create Entries for this Address Book". When I choose the Contacts, I can see all the entries that were in my address book (I've always used the address book format, not the contacts format). But when I open a new message, and click in the "To" box, it brings up an empty address book. In the "Show Names From" dropdown box, it only has the address book, it won't let me select "Contacts".... I'm really hosed here. Help please?? 1. Make sure the Contact folder is enabled as an email address book, right click the folder choose Properties and Outlook Address Book ensure checkbox to enable as email address book is checked; if this is dimmed or greyed then go on to No.2 2. Go to Tools > Email Accounts > check "View or change existing directories or address books" > is the Outlook Address Book present > if it is present then remove it close and restart Outlook and then re-add it > if it isn't present then add it > close and restart Outlook. 3. Check that the Contacts are being seen by creating a new mail message and using the To button >I would really appreciate any help here.
