I recently reinstalled Outlook 2000.  When I try and use
the address book through the To: function I get the
following error message "the address book could not be
displayed. the contacts folder associated with this
address book could not be opened; it may have been moved
or deleted, or you do not have permission....see help to
fix" I hit OK and the select names comes up, in the right
corner is a drop down menu with "contacts" displayed. I
drop it down and a second "contacts" (under Outlook
address book) is displayed. when a change it to that one,
I get my contacts back.  Problem is I have to do this
every time. I have tried the following
file.folder.properties for contacts.outlook address
book.and unchecking the "show this folder as an email
address book"....but this only removes the "good"
contacts.  When i go back the bad/blank one is still
there.  How do I get rid of the bad one and keep the good
one.

Thanks
