Thanks Brian and et all for your help.

My Issue Has Been Resolved.

Here is what I did...
After reading several of your postings, someone mentioned something about
"Pick Fields" or "Field Chooser" or something like that. That put me on the
right track; so my solution came as follws:
- Pull Down the "GO" menu, Choose "FOLDERS" (or press CONTROL+Y)
- The "Go to Folder" windows will appear, and in it, you will see all the
Outlook folders.
- Expand the folder called Contacts, or browse around... I found mine inside
of an email folder; but they are there!
- ALSO, on top of this window ("Go to Folder") there is a pull down menu;
scroll down and you might also see your missing Contacts folders in there. As
soon as you click on it, and press OK, the folder will appear in your Outlook
left panel.

I had to manually move and drag my contact folders from inside the email
folder that I found them in, to the top of the left panel, and place them
inside the Outlook Contact folders.

One more thing I like to share... I notice yesterday while reading many of
the posts, that lots of people ask questions which are misunderstood (even
mine;) So, it came to mind a quote I found years ago in a book, it read some
thing like this... "The first step to mastering (or learning) something is to
learn to call things by their proper name."  
The point is that every day, technology keeps growing, and so does language.
So I know that I must make a constant effort to educate myself, keep up wth
technology and its lingo. A question can take a thousand turn if we do not
use the right terminology (and in the right context.) For me, I am no longer
a teenager, society "revoked" my license to call things I dont know "thingy."
i.e "I am having a problem with Outlook; I had lots of names in different
thingies. Then I upgraded, then all my thingies are gone. I pulled down the
menu thingy, and choose the thingy that takes you to the file thingy, and
guess what? My thingies were not there. HELP!"

Thank you all for your dedication to help other homo-sapiens-ignoramus (such
as moi) After 21 years in this field, it feels like I know zilch.
Thank you all again!
