None of this fits with reality. Outlook has not used a Personal Address Book
for years and most certainly would never install this service during an
upgrade operation. The Outlook Address Book replaced the Personal Address
Book more than 7 years ago.
There is more to this story than what you've told us. Tell us more
accurately and completely exactly how you "upgraded," from what version, and
how your Contact Data and address book service were configured before you
did this "upgrade." I suspect end-user error during this installation.

Hello, after upgrading to Office 2003 I noticed that the Contacts folder
is
empty. Yet the Personal Address Book has been added. If I go into the
Address
Book I see all the personal contacts under the Personal Address Book, but
nothing under Contacts. I also have the option "show this folder as an
e-mail
Address Book" enabled in the Contacts folder Properties. Anyone know why
that
folder is empty? I am not sure if this is a clue, but the message, that
prompts to convert the addresses to the Contacts folder, that should
appear
when Outlook 2003 is opened for the first time did not appear. Thanks.

Regards,

Randy
