Hi. I recently had to reformat my computer. I had saved
my Outlook settings so was able to recover my contacts
folder. However, when I go to address an email and click
on the address book icon on the toolbar my contacts don't
display. I get the error message, "The address list
cannot be displayed. The Contacts folder associated with
this address list cannot be opened; it may have been
moved or deleted, or you do not have persmissions." But
when I click on my contacts folder they are there. Please
help.

Thanks, Lois

Click to expand...
 
Go to Tools | E-mail accounts, select "View or change existing directories
or address books", and click Next. 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.
