I brought my Contacts home from my office and they appear in my Outlook
Contacts fine. When I try to send an email and get addresses from the
Address Book, it says the "address list cannot be displayed" and "The
Contacts list associated with this folder cannot be opened"
when i try to add an address book per Mic Off Out Help it says this type has
already been specified and cant be specified twice.
Any help would be appreciated

Describe exactly how you added the contacts to your home copy of Outlook. Be
sure to include your Outlook version in the description. If you're contacts
folders are configured correctly, they'll appear in the address book view.
 
I had this same problem and went through MS chat support and the support tech
ended up creating a new email profile then copying all the associated files
to the new profile. See Article ID: 829918 - Last Review: October 31, 2008 -

How to create and configure an e-mail profile in Outlook 2007 and Outlook
2003. Then you need to copy all the files...or you can do what I did and let
the support tech do it for you.
 
Talk about using a sledge hammer to kill a mosquito. Creating a new profile
is a lot of unnecessary work to correct a problem that is easily fixed by
simply configuring the Outlook Address Book Service correctly. The only time
it is necessary is if the user migrated data incorrectly and corrupted the
original profile, and the only version that's even needed is Outlook 2007
which retains a permanent bug preventing reconfiguring the Outlook Address
Book.
