MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / April 2006Contact list cannot be displayed
I recently upgraded from Office 2000 to 2003. I set up Office 2003 for my another user and copy/ pasted the contact list (pst) from my user pst. into that user's outlook directory (the one where Outlook installed the default 'OUTLOOK.pst' file). All of the emails and contacts open up fine when I click on 'Mail' or 'Contacts' in the left pane, but when I try to open the contact list from a 'new mail' or 'Foward', I get an error box stating, "The address list could not be displayed. The Contacts folder associated with this address list could not be opened; it may have been moved or deleted, or you do not have permission." Does anybody have a solution to get this address list to woek in another user? NEVER overwrite a PST file. You will corrupt your profile every time. How corrupt your is remains to be seen. If you're lucky, all you'll need to reset is your Outlook Address Book. Start there. Enable your Contacts Folder as an email address book in its properties. Remove the now invalid reference to a Contacts Folder here: Tools > E-mail accounts > View or change existing directories or address books > Outlook Address Book > Change. If you have more problems, then you'll need to create a new profile and use the proper procedure in the Help File for migrating PST data, ensuring that you never just copy your old PST file into the default directory. Keep it elsewhere. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA010771141033.aspx  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] >I recently upgraded from Office 2000 to 2003.

I guess I've been lucky in the past because I have overwritten pst files for many years without ever a problem. I will begin this remedy now and see if it will work.

Now I just need to figure out how to get 'MY' contact names into the other user's address book. Thanks > NEVER overwrite a PST file.
