You've damaged the connection between the address book and your Contacts
folder by using whatever method you used to transfer your data. Click
ToolsE-mail AccountView or change existing directories or address
booksNext. Select Outlook Address Book and click Change. Remove all of
the Contacts folders you see in that list, click Close, then OK. Stop and
restart Outlook. Then right-click your Contacts folder, choose Properties,
select the Outlook Address Book tab and check the box labeled "Show this
folder as an e-mail Address Book. Click OK. The address book should work
correctly after that.
