I upgraded from Office 2002 to 2003. Nothing transfered over. Can't find my
old e-mails and the contacts is empty too. But The data is in the address
book. How do I get it from the Address book to my Contacts.

TIA
 
That makes no sense. The Address Book can only show what is in your
Contacts Folder. It contains no data. Explain what you mean more completely,
please. There must be a Contacts Folder somewhere.
How did you "upgrade?" Upgrades always keep the same information store.
 
If I go to Tools - Address Book my contacts are in there but if I click on
the Contacts on the left side of outlook they are not in there....

If you look at your folder list (at the bottom of the navigation bar there
should be a shortcut to it) do you have multiple folder stores listed?
Maybe your Contacts are in other ones?

For some reason when I click on folder list outlook crashes. I tried to
reinstall and that didn't help either.

What if you start Outlook with the /Safe switch?

Start | Run | Outlook /safe

Can you then go to the Folder list and see what's listed?

Try creating a new profile pointing at your legacy .PST file and see if
that's better. (Control Panel | Mail....)
