Hi...

A friend of mine's PC came up with a slew of "lost clusters" and it took XP
nearly 20 minutes to re-resolve all the problems.  PC was pretty messed up
but I was able to save off her OUTLOOK.PST file.  From there I put the XP CD
in, reformatted, and re-installed XP HOME.  Then I installed her Office 2003
(Small Business I think)... and copied the (saved) OUTLOOK.PST over the
newly created one (from running her re-installed Outlook once).

Now... her messages show up fine... Inbox, Sent, etc... and Outlook
sends/receive just fine too.  However, when she wants to create a new
message... she has no Address Book.

How do I go about re-linking the CONTACTS folder back into Outlook??

I seem to remember something about going to the Contacts folder and
selecting Properties... but I don't remember more than that anymore.  I
won't be near her PC til later today or tomorrow... so I can't even play
around with it yet.

Thanks in advance for any help!!

Right click on the Contacts folder, choose Properties, go to the Outlook
Address Book tab and make sure the "Show this folder as an email address
book" box is checked
