After purchasing a new laptop, I copied the outlook.pst file from the old to
the new computer. The contacts list shows all my contacts. However, when
creating an e-mail message and clicking the to: button I get a message that
contacts can be accessed. After researching the topic, I clicked properties,
selected the outlook address bok tab and selected "Show contacts as an e-mail
address book".

The problem now is that I have 2 contacts lists under the to: address book.
The default contacts which still causes the above described problem and the
correct contacts list.

Bottom line is that I can get to my contacts now, however, it is very
annoying to have to click on three buttons to get to my contacts.

Hope I explain the problem clearly and hope someone outthere can help

Just remove the invalid reference:
Tools E-mail accounts View or change existing directories or address
books Outlook Address Book Change.
