I am not understanding something fundamental about Outlook 2003.  I bought a
new pc and have been transferring data to it.  I installed Office 2003 on
the new computer and then moved the Outlook.pst file over to it, and
replaced the tiny one that the new installation of Outlook had created.

All my contacts are still there, but I get a message each and every time I
try to validate an email address in the "TO:" field:  "Microsoft Outlook
does not recognize 'name'  "  When "Show More Names" is selected, I get
another error message, "The address list could not be displayed.  The
Contacts Folder associated wiht this address list could not be opened.; it
may have been moved or deleted, or you do not have permissions."

I'd appreciate if someone could put that in English.

Thanks very much.

You forgot to configure your Outlook Address Book.
Enable your Contacts Folder as an email address book in its properties.

for the lack of a check mark, the kingdom was lost......  Thanks Russ.

By the way, it isn't good practice to overwrite one PST with another.  You
can damage your mail profile that way.
