I'm horrible at searching for things like this. My version is MS Office 2002
(10.....). Please tell (or point me to) how to configure correctly if you can.

I saw somewhere (but I can't find it again) where I made sure to select the
option which allowed Contact folder lookups, so I may have already done that
part correct.

The data came from Outlook Express on my previous PC; could it have been in
two files there?

All Outlook data is stored in one file, so you could not have "copied" this
data separately.
All you need to do is configure your Outlook Address Book. You failed to
post your version , so we cannot tell you how. However, since that
information is posted on a daily basis here, just find a post that applies
to your version and read it.

Names in the To or CC field are not recognized when I sent email, even if
they are in my Contacts folder.

I had to re-install Windows. I copied my mail file from a CD backup, and I
copied the Contact folder. I don't remember the filename or location (it
was
a few months ago).

I can see all the names when I click on the Contact folder. But the names
don't get translated into email addresses when I send email. Also, if I
click
on Tools Address Book, I get the following error:

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.

How can I fix this problem?

Thanks,
