By telling us how you managed to disconnect your Outlook Address Book
Service from its information store. It doesn't happen all by itself. Tell us
the rest of the story. Include your Outlook version.

OK, I have Outlook 2003. I don't really know how it ended up being lost
off my Outlook Address Book, yet when I click my Contacts lo and behold all
my contacts are still there.
Hope this helps you!

Go to Tools | E-mail accounts, select "View or change existing directories
or address books", and click OK. If you don't see the OAB in the Directories
and Address Books list, click the Back button, then select "Add a new
directory or address book", then "Additional Address Books", and add the
OAB. Then keep clicking Back until you get back to the first dialog box,
and go back to the Directories and Address Books list as you did earlier.
Once the OAB appears in the list, select it and then click Change to make
sure the Contacts folder(s) you want to display are listed. If any of them
aren't listed, you'll need to enable those Contacts folders as Outlook
Address Books by right clicking the folder, selecting Properties, clicking
the Outlook Address Book tab, and checking the "Show this folder as an
E-mail address book" box. Make sure you restart Outlook after making these
changes.

Thank you it worked!
What the heck happened then? Why did the bloody thing go away, or is it one
of these fuzzy quirky things?

You tell me. It is not unusual for the Outlook Address Book to "lose track"
of the connection to its Contacts Folder when you move or import your PST or
update your Outlook version or OS.
