Contacts Folder Problem

[Larry Bohen]

Outlook version: 2003

When in a Distribution List, I click on [Select Members] and get this MS
Office Outlook message:

The list could not be displayed. The Contacts Folder associated with this
address could not be opened; It may have been moved or delected, or you do
not have permissions. For information on how to remove this folder from the
Outlook Address Book, see Outlook Office Outlook Help. [OK]

I would appreciate advice on how to fix.

Reset the connection between the Outlook Address Book and your Contact
Folder.
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.
