Are my contacts and address book two different entities....if so, then my
address book is indeed empty and my contacts are what I utilize. I need to
learn how to use the mail merge function.

Microsoft Office Outllook 2003. The failure occurs after I send a mass email
(not thru mail merge) so I think it is thru my internet provider who is
limiting the amount that I can send. When I tried to do a mail merge, outlook
states that I do not have any contacts. I have over 300 business contacts in
my address book so this is one of my dilemmas.

What version of Outlook? Are you starting the mail merge from Outlook? Post the steps you are using and where the failure occurs.
