Right click on the folder in your folder list and choose Properties. In
there, click on the Outlook Address Book tab put a check in the box that
says "Show this folder as an email address book"

Hope you can translate that into keyboard strokes, Paul.

Subject: [mso] Can't access contacts in outlook xp

Hi All, 

Recently I created a  new user on my xp pro machine. All went fine and I
successfully  set it up just like I wanted it. The new user has full
admin rights etc. My one problem however is that every time I use the
keys "control plus shift plus letter b" which is my usual way to open up
the address book when I wish to add a name to an email it comes up with
the following error:
Microsoft Outlook
The address list could not be displayed.  The Contacts folder associated
with this graphic 899  address list could not be opened; it may have
been moved
or deleted, or you do not 
have permissions. For information on how to remove this folder from the
Outlook 
Address Book, see Microsoft Outlook Help.
OK

I don't know what it means as I  wanted an exact copy of the outlook
address book and  emails which were in my old user profile and so copied
then exported  the .PST file  into the outlook of this new user. The
strange thing is that I can see my list of names and email address if I
go to the folder list and go into contacts there but it just won't allow
me to open the address book the way I always did before.

Paul.
