hello,
I am using Outlook 2002.While personalising my outlook somehow details from my addressbook folder have vanished. now that same info is there in my contacts folder. Now I want to transfer those details from contacts to addressbook. How can i do that? I search the help topics but didn't find anything regarding that.

Any Ideas.....???

Thankx in advance.
 
That cannot be what happened. Outlook does not and never has stored
addresses in an address book. All Contact data is stored in the Contacts
Folder. The Address Book is merely a view of your Contacts Folder.

So you simply need to repair the connection between your address book view
and your Contacts Folder.
Go to Tools | E-mail accounts, select "View or change existing directories
or address books", and click OK. If you don't see the OAB in the Directories
and Address Books list, click the Back button, then select "Add a new
directory or address book", then "Additional Address Books", and add the
OAB. Then keep clicking Back until you get back to the first dialog box,
and go back to the Directories and Address Books list as you did earlier.
Once the OAB appears in the list, select it and then click Change to make
sure the Contacts folder(s) you want to display are listed. If any of them
aren't listed, you'll need to enable those Contacts folders as Outlook
Address Books by right clicking the folder, selecting Properties, clicking
the Outlook Address Book tab, and checking the "Show this folder as an
E-mail address book" box. Make sure you restart Outlook after making these
changes.

E-mail address book" is disabled. So how to enable that option

It will be enabled when you add the Outlook Address Book to your profile.
You must not have done so yet. Look over the instructions again.
