Hi. I'm using Outlook 2003 on a clean install on a brand new computer
(lovely!) and have copied across my old pst file to access all my data. All
is well. Until I create a new mail and then click on the 'To' button in
order to access my Contact information. I get:
"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"

I do still have all entries (450+) in Contacts, and can generate an email
from within any Contact.

Why might I not be able to access the Contact information - and how can I
re-attach it please?!
Thanks, Jeff

Is your Outlook Address Book service installed? Tools->Options->Mail
Setup->Email Accounts->Directory->View or Change.
