Sorry. It's posted here almost every day so I thought you might see it.
It is not unusual for the Outlook Address Book to “lose track†of the
connection to its Contacts Folder when you move or import your PST or update
your Outlook version or operating system. Use the following steps to reset
the connection. Note that in some instances you may actually have to remove
the Outlook Address Book completely from your Profile, close Outlook, and
then re-add it before you can get it to work.
For Outlook 2002/2003:
Make sure the Contact folder is enabled as an email address book. Right
click the Contacts folder, choose Properties then Outlook Address Book. Is
the box to enable as email address book checked?
If this is grayed out...Go to Tools | Email Accounts, choose View or change
existing directories or address book. Is the Outlook Address Book present?
If it isn't listed, add it and close and restart Outlook. If it is listed,
then remove it and close then restart Outlook and repeat these steps to add
it.

Thanks Russ for your quick response.
I didn't reset Outlook Address Book Service, because I don't know what
that
is or how to do it.

Not much information here. One must wonder what you were trying to fix
with
Detect and Repair. We know what you broke. Why not just reset your
Outlook
Address Book Service?

I just completed a detect and repair on Microsoft Office 2003 Outlook.
Now when I try to go to me address book to send an email I get the
following
message: "The address list could not be displayed. The contact folder
associated with this address list could not be opened; it may have been
moved
or delted, or you don not have permissions." I have tried help to no
avail.
Any help would be very much apreciated. My contacts are still in tact.
Thanks
