OL could not find requested contact

Bob S

I use OL 2003 and get the following error message no matter what contact's
name I type.

"Outlook could not find requested contact."

What setting do I need to change? Thank you for your help.

Is the Outlook Address Book service installed? Tools->email accounts->view
or change directories. If it is not installed, back up one step and install
it.

Yes, Milly, it is installed. I did change where the outlook.pst file was
located, but thought that I did it correctly. I can see all of the contacts
in the list. But when I type a contact's name into the "Find" field OL
cannot find it. Does any of that information help you help me?

Thanks for your help.

If you right click on your contact(s) folders and select properties, do they
show as an Outlook Address Book?
