Most likely you deleted the Contacts Folder that your Outlook Address Book
view was displaying. It should be easy enough to show your current Contacts
Folder. Just R click it, > Properties > Outlook Address Book Tab > enable it
as an email address book. Restart Outlook.

Thanks Russ,

Appreciate your reply.
Never to sit idly, I deleted my profile, now totally messed up, following
someone's suggestion form a Google search.

Should have had the faith previous experiences here have taught me...that
the solution is forthcoming.

So now cannot get to the files at all.

Why? Deleting profiles never touches your data.
All your Outlook data is still on your hard drive. Just open each PST file
until you find it, then use that PST file as your new profile's default.

Thanks again Russ,
Only way I know to try another .pst file is to rename the one now being used
so that O/L is forced look for the file.
Is there another method?
