Contacts not available as address book

I've just transferred my data files from a W98 PC to a
new stand-alone WXP PC (by temporarily installing the old
hard drive in the new PC and copying all the data files
over to a separate folder in the new hard drive). I then
copied outlook.pst (all 212MB) to C:\Documents and
Settings\Maurice\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook (where it has transmogrified
itself down to 135MB). The old version of Outlook was
2000, the new version is 2002.


Almost everything I have tried so far works fine, except
for the following problem.

When I try to use the address book, I get the following
message: '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. For information on how to
remove this folder from the Outlook Address Book, see
Microsoft Outlook Help.' Surprise, surprise, Help
doesn't help!
I have set Contacts Properties to Show this folder as an
e-mail Address Book.

I can use the Contacts Folder in all other respects as
before!
 
You proably need to add the Outlook Address Book service to your
profile. See if the information on the following page helps:

Dear Jocelyn:

Thank you so much for this simple steer: everything works
fine now.
I appreciate your quick response. I apologize for my
tardy reply: I was on vacation.
