after a harddisk failure, I had to reinstall all programs. All my outlook
data including my contacts I importet from the backups. But now suddenly my
outlook addressbook is empyt and when I write an email, I cannot get any
email addresses.
Before it was link to the contact folder on the left side. When I click on
the addressbook button on the top, it says that the link to the contact
folder is not existing anymore.
How can I connect them again??
I am using Office XP SP 2

Enable your Contacts Folder as an email address book in its properties.
Never import PST files. You have probably lost more data than just the
address book connection.
