Not Seeing Contact Sub-Folders

I installed Outlook 2003 and copied/imported my contacts
folders from my old Outlook 2000 installation. I have a
main "Contacts" folder that is recognized when I enter
names in new emails. The problem is that Outlook 2003
does not seem to recognize the sub-folders under the
main "Contacts" folder. I have 2 major contact lists in
these folders and the names are not found when I try to
address an email with any address from them.

I tried adding additional Outlook Folders, but it would
not let me. What am I doing wrong and how do I correct
the problem? I really need to have access to all the
email addresses.

Thanks,

Martin
 
Did you enable the subfolders as e-mail address books in their properties?
 
I enabled the subfolders, but the folders and names are
still not showing up. What am I missing here?

Thanks.

idea how to copy/import my "Contacts" folder from my old

Open the PST file you were using before. Copy the Contacts into your new PST
file.

Did you try drag and drop? Drag from old outlook to the
new outlook. Sometimes it's too easy...
