I've just restored Outlook from an old .pst file and I can see my Contacts
list fine. When I click on my address book I get an error message that says
"The address book could not be displayed. The contacts floder associated with
this address list could not be opened; it may have been moved or deleted or
you do not have permissions".

Thanks in advance.
 
Goodness gracious - fixed it myself after finding the answer right here in
the forums. Thanks all and good night. Phil
 
My apologies for not posting the actual fix details - I to keep the name of
the post where I got the information from and ran out of time today trying to
find it again. It is something like the pprocedure described here as follows
- basically removing both address book directories references then closing
outlook and adding them
again.http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...4c840521ef8c&lang=en&cr=US&sloc=en-US&m=1&p=1
Although I also did this which might have fixed it too - right click the
contacts folder and select Properties, click on the Outlook Address Book tab
and make sure there is a check beside "Show this folder as an e-mail address
book".

Russ might be able to explain this more concisely - he is a very kind and
knowledgable man - many thanks Russ!

all the best

phil
