e-Mail Click on "To" Outlook Address Book first "Contacts" is em

[Guest]

When I click on "To" Outlook Address Book in an Untitled Message window the
error message "The address book could not be displayed. The Contacts folder
associated with this address book could not be opened..."

The Select Names windows pops up and in "Show names from the:" the first
"Contacts" folder displayed is empty. I use the Pull-down menu to select the
second "Contacts" (same name) and my contacts are displayed. How can I have
the "Contacts" folder where my contacts are located de displayed when I click
on "To" Outlook Address Book in an Untitled Message window?

I would like to delete the empty "Contacts" folder.

Thanks for your help, Ed

You did something to create an invalid reference to a Contacts Folder in
your Outlook Address Book. Just remove the invalid reference. Method depends
on your version which you neglected to post.
In most current versions you would do so here:
Tools > E-mail accounts > View or change existing directories or address
books > Outlook Address Book > Change… >
