In it's former life, my computer served as part of an office network, and the
Outlook Address Book was not available. Now it is in my home, not connected
to the office, but the networking structure is still there, hence I still
can't use the Address Book function. How do I remove the Network?
 
Explain what you mean.
"Network structure?"
Do you mean that Outlook was connected to Exchange Server and now no longer
is?
 
Yes. I just knew it as the "network" server, but that would be the same as
Exchange Server, don't you think?

So what mail transport were you thinking you would use now?

my mail transport is, I asume, Outlook and my ISP. This is the message I see
when clicking on the Addess Book icon: "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." The Contacts folder is intact and accessible, so I am thinking
the 'permissions' angle refers to the fact that I did not have access to the
Address List while at the office where Outlook was shared by 8 computers and
users through one server. The connection to the server no longer exists, but
the rules may still be in effect. I think I need to re-write the rules.

Nah.
You just need to configure your Outlook Address Book correctly:

Absolutely correct. I found the path to righteous configuration, and
everything is OK. I even found out I have to have the original disc to
remove the Network Neighborhood entanglement with passwords, etc., and maybe
I'll be able to remove that stumbling block as well. Thanks for your
questions, which steered me toward the path.
