My Outlook 2000 aplication terminates when trying to
click in the "Find Contact" field in the toolbar. It used
to work, now it suddenly doesn't.

Has anyone seen this problem?
 
I have seen this happen when the contacts folder gets
corrupted. I copied all of the contacts into another
contacts folder then used the Ffolder utility to delete
the folder. Then I used the Command-Line switch
to rebuild the system folder and moved all of the
contacts back into it.

Look on Sue Mosher's Slipstick site for Ffolder Utility:

Ffolder Utility: Utility to rename or delete "special"
Outlook folders such as the Calendar, Tasks, Inbox, and
Contacts. VB source code included.

Look on technet for the information on how to rebuild the
Contacts system folder with the "/ResetFolders" switch:

Thanks for the instructions. All this works great but how
do i copy the contacts over to the newly rebuilt contacts
folder. When I paste it, it pastes all my contacts into
one record. Please HELP!!! Thanks.
 
Try using the EDIT menu to COPY TO FOLDER...

Just Select all the items (Not the folder).
