Hi Smokey,
I never have seen this before.
The "services" of Outlook are normally stored/listed in a "mapisvc.inf"
file.
(Maybe an Outlook MVP could confirm this technical details)
This file is normally stored under: .....\System\Mapi\1031 or another
country code. (1031 is for Germany) ;-)
MY "mapisvc.inf" have the following entries under "services":
[Services]
MSEMS=Microsoft Exchange Server
MSPST AB=Personal Addressbook
MSPST MS=Persönliche Folder (.pst)
CONTAB=Outlook-Addressbook
INTERSTOR=Internetfolder
O10ABP=Exchange-Addressbook
MSFAX XP=Faxmailtransport
POL_SVC=Public ShareFolder
[Default Services]
MSEMS=Microsoft Exchange Server
MSFAX XP=Faxmailtransport
Maybe your Outlok Profil or your "mapisvc.inf" file is corrupt.
I found the following article for Office 2000:

Newprof.exe and Mapisvc.inf can also be obtained from the Microsoft Outlook
2000 CD-ROM or from the first CD-ROM of Microsoft Office 2000. The temporary
directory and its contents may be safely deleted after the procedure is
complete.
I don´t know if you could find this mapisvc.inf file also on the Office 2003
CD and change this file from the CD with the file on your system.
Another idea could be the repair function of your office CD. Sorry but I
never get this problem before.

Dear Oliver,
Thanks so much for those two good ideas. The only problem is that they both
eventually take you to the same screen that in my case only offers the choice
of Business Contact Manager Database - no .pst choice.
I do have a profile.
Any other suggestions? What could possibly be wrong?
Thanks!
Smokey
