I'm using Outlook 2002. My PST is on Drive D. My Programs are
installed on drive C. I installed and configured Outlook in June. It
worked fine until this week.

For the past few days, I have not been able to access my Contacts when
I write a new email. The error message says that the Contacts Folder
is not "Linked." But if I click on the Outlook Contacts icon, they
appear.

How can I relink the Contacts?

The exact message is:

========================
MICROSOFT OUTLOOK
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, dor you do not have permissions. For
information on how to reomve this folder from the Outlook Address
Book, see Microsoft Outlook Help.
========================


My PST is on Drive D. It works. The Office/Outlook program is on
Drive C, with settings files in Documents & Settings. Everything
works, except I cannot access Contacts while creating an email. As
regard the "help" message, I don't think I want to remove any folders
frm the Outlook Address Book. I want my Outlook Address Book to be
available everywhere in Outlook -- on my pop3 account, on the alias
pop3 account, and on my IMAP account.

Is your Outlook Address Book service installed correctly? If it does show, then remove it, close Outlook, re-add it, close and restart Outlook. See any one of Russ' answers for how to configure the Outlook Address Book Service for step by step directions.

If this does not fix it, then try a new mail profile.

I read Ross' page and fiddled around with the settings -- I put a
checkmark in a box and now my contacts are working from the TO line.

I take that back. The contacts worked from the TO line until I closed
Outlook and reopened it. Now, again, I get the message that the
Contacts folder is not linked to my email addresses. I'm about to
tear my hair out!

The contacts are stored in the PST file -- right? Then they should be
in my OUTLOOK.PST file, which is on the Drive -- where it has been
for months.

In the Cocuments & Settings folder, I have some Outlook files under
Local Settings and some under Application Data. Other Outlook files
are on the D: drive in the same folder as my OUTLOOK.PST.

When I compose a new email, click TO - it opens to Contacts; there is
nothing there. I can drop-down and select the next line, also called
Contacts, and find a lot of Contacts that seem to be from June. They
contain duplicates, which I weeded out in early July. Although I can
SEE the names of those contacts, I am not allowed to select them.

So it appears that I have two CONTACTS someplace; one empty, and
another old. The "real" contacts seems to have gone missing entirely.
Is there anyway to fix this fine mess?
