I've had instances where a contact in my Outlook folder will display the
subject error message. Is there anyway to fix this?

"I've had instances" doesn't give us much to go on as far as steps to repro
your problem.
Let's at least start with your Outlook version, transports, and information
store.

I have a public folder that contains customer information. For some reason,
one of the contact files could not be opened and displayed the subject
message. Have you had this happen before?

I forgot to mention that I have Outlook 2003.

No idea. Issues with Public Folders are far more often Exchange issues than
Outlook issues. I've never used Exchange.
That's why you need to include relevant details when you post. Saves us all
some time.
