Restoring address list in an Address book from Contacts folder?

[Guest]

When the Address book button on the Standard toolber is touched, or the
Address book option on the Tool menu is selected this message appears:
"The address list could not be displayed. The Contacts folder associated
with the 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 Office Outlook Help."
This option is not helpful. The address list was removed, but both exits in
a Contact folder and in an Excel document.
How can I restore the address list into the Address book?

Outlook version please? Is the Outlook Address Book service installed? Is
the contact folder marked for use as an Outlook Address book?
