How do I reset the default address book in Outlook 2003

[Guest]

When I start a nem mail message & click the 'To' button, to open the Contact
list, it says that...

"The address list could not be opened. The Contacts folder associated with
this address list could not be opened; it may have been moved or deleted, or
you do not have permissions. For information on how to remove this folder
from the Outlook Address Book, see Microsoft Outlook Help."

If I then click OK, it show the Select Names dialog & there are two options
for Contacts, in the 'Show Names from the' window - the second of which has
the addresses I want - how do I delete the first one???

Thanks in advance,

Jeff Hine

Hi,

Thanks for that; I had deleted the folder that was there, but it didn't seem
to have worked - so I repeated the process & re-added the OL address book &
it now works as I expect it to... thanks again.
