MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / August 2003PAB Question
I recently copied my .pst file (Office 2000, Outlook 2000) from an old machine to a new one (XP, Outlook 2002). Everything works properly except my address book. It's empty. Do I need to import it or tell Outlook where to find it? Thanks, Lou Outlook does not use a PAB any longer. Tell us why you think your Address Book is empty. List the steps you are using to invoke it and what happens.

Thanks, Lou If I open an email message from MS Outlook, it inserts the contact's email address in the TO line. If I want to add another contact's email address to the TO, CC, or BCC lines, I get the following message when I click on the line: "The address list could not be displayed. The contacts folder associated with this address list could not be opened. It may have been moved or deleted, or you do not have permissions.

If it is, then click on Change. to make sure the Contacts folder(s) you want to display are listed. You may need to enable the Contacts Folder as an e-mail address book by R clicking the Folder > Properties and check the "Show this folder as an E-mail address book" box. Make sure you restart Outlook after making these changes. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > If I open an email message from MS Outlook, it inserts > the contact's email address in the TO line.

Outlook 2002 Russ, I have the same problem having moved to another PC. I followed your instructions to Lou. However, for me in Tools > Email Accounts > View or change existing directories or address books and then Outlook Address Book (MAPI) > Change ... I get no items in the list (I removed the ones that didn't work earlier). Additional info: when I moved the Outlook.pst file it is now called Outlook1.pst. Could this be the reason and if so how can I change the default to Outlook.pst? I looked in Data File Management but won't let me change it there. (assuming this is the reason for problem above) Thanks, Hiran If I open an email message from MS Outlook, it inserts the contact's email address in the TO line.
