Dear All,

I am using Windows 7 and Outlook 2002. Recently I had to format my OS and had taken a backup of PST file on another drive. When I imported the PST file again, my emails and contacts have been retrived but there is a problem. My contacts are visible when I select Contacts in the Outlook Shortcut tab. However when I am composing a new email and clicking on the "To" tab, no Contacts are being displayed and the following message is appearing: The address list could not be displayed. The contacts folder assosiated with this address list could not be opened; it may have been moved or deleted or you do not have permission. I have tried to re import Contacts from backup but this did not work. My contacts are visible in the Contacts tab but I am unable to link.

Please help.

Thanks in advance

If you have Contacts in the Contacts folder but they are not accessible when you click on the To button, check these settings:




Make sure the Contact folder is enabled as an email address book. Right click the Contacts folder, choose Properties then Outlook Address Book. Is the box to enable as email address book is checked?




If this is grayed out you'll need to make a new profile.




See missing contacts for more information.
 
Thank you Larry. I have created a new profile and linked my contacts. There are a few surplus pst files in my outlook folder. Although I have lost a couple of umimportant emails (my last pst backup was till 24th. Jan) it seems to be working fine at the onset. Thanks once again.

Thanks. I will try and get back. Another thing, I have two personal folders in outlook. Why is that and how can I delete the redundant?
