Address book problems

[Rob]

Hello;

If I goto the address book, and click the drop down box
to goto contacts, I have 2 "Contacts" listed there. If I
click the first one, I recieve the following error: "The
address list could not be displayed. The Contacts folder
associated with this address could not be opened..."
Does anyone know how to resolve this? I am running
Windows XP SP1, and Office 2003 SP1.

Thank You;

Rob

First thing I'd do, in Outlook, right click on the
contacts icon (on the left) go to the addressbook tab,
make sure, "use for default email address, or something
like that is checked.

Then open the addressbook, click on the book icon at the
top of the window, then go to TOOLS/OPTIONS. Remove the
present contacts, and then re-add just the one...

I wouldn't. It won't work.
I'd remove the invalid reference here:
Tools > E-mail accounts > View or change existing directories or address
books > Outlook Address Book > Change. >
