When sending an e-mail. I like to access my contact list to get the
addresses. However, I get an error message saying I don't have access.
However, when I look under Show names from Tab - There is the Addres Book
listed (blank) and 'Contacts' twice. The first 'contacts' is the default one
and the second one is where all of the contacts are. It is annoying having to
go through this step each time. Does anyone have an idea how to cure this
headache?

Answer posted here often. Method depends on your version which you did not
provide. I'm sure you can find one of the many posts that will match your
version.

I have Outlook 2003. I have looked through and still cannot solve the
problem. Any further advice?

Remove the invalid reference to a Contacts Folder here:
Tools > E-mail accounts > View or change existing directories or address
books > Outlook Address Book > Change.
