I am using Microsoft Outlook 2002. My address are all listed on in my
contacts. I can open my contacts and see all my addresses no problem. But
if I try to compose and email and go to the little book in the upper left
corner where you can add contact email address from contacts list I get a
message that says " Your address list can 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. For infomration on how to
remove this folder from the Outlook Address Book, see Microsoft OUtlook

Ah, much better. Now I see the problem. This can arise whenever your Outlook
Address Book Service loses its connection to your Contacts Folder(s)
(usually after you've imported Contacts, moved your Outlook data file, or
updated your version.)
Make sure the Contacts 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.

Russ I can not believe it I can connect to my contacts. Only one problem is
that it seems to be a limited list. What I mean is it does not contain all
the the email addresses, phone numbers etc in my actual contacts. Any
ideas. Already I feel ahead that I can get some addresses but it would be
nice to access them all. Judy

You're the only one who will be able to solve this part. The behavior you
describe can only occur if the Outlook Address Book is displaying a Contacts
folder that is different than the one you are looking at in Outlook itself.
It is easy to end up with more than one set of personal folders or more than
one set of Contact Folders if you've been moving or importing data. Use the
Folder View of Outlook to examine the entire folder hierarchy of your
Outlook profile and see if you have more than one set.

Well, not knowing how you managed to end up with so many folders makes it
hard to say. If I were you, I'd look at the contents of each Contacts Folder
and see if they can't all be consolidated into a single Contacts Folder.
Then make sure that folder is the only one to which you make entries and is
the only one you display in the Outlook Address Book.

Ah, much better. Now I see the problem. This can arise whenever
your
Outlook
Address Book Service loses its connection to your Contacts
Folder(s)
(usually after you've imported Contacts, moved your Outlook data
file,
or
updated your version.)
Make sure the Contacts 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.

I am using Microsoft Outlook 2002. My address are all listed
on
in
my
contacts. I can open my contacts and see all my addresses no
problem.
But
if I try to compose and email and go to the little book in the
upper
left
corner where you can add contact email address from contacts
list
I
get
a
message that says " Your address list can 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. For
infomration
on
how
to
remove this folder from the Outlook Address Book, see
Microsoft
OUtlook
help." I have tried for hours to get Help to Help me but no
luck.
Thanks
in
advance Judy

Thank you, you almost solved this simple but painful problem for me. However,
I end up seeing only the top Contacts folder, all the subfolders are missing
from the dialogs and lookups. Please help!
