MS Outlook 2002

I am running MS Win2000 Pro and had installed Office 2002 (XP). I use Outlook 2002 as my e-mail client. Just recently I had a problem with office and had to re-instal it. Once I did this and went into Outlook, all my Contacts, Sent, Received, Inbox, Calander, Ect. was gone. Under Data File Management, I was able to find my data file on my drive and import it. Everything worked great, I was right bcak where I left off except one thing: My address book was gone. Now, if I go into contacts, all my contacts are there including their e-mails. But as soon as I try to send an e-mail and click on the TO: button or address book button I get an empty address book. I try to add a contact in it and I get the following error:

"New Entry Could Not Be Added, Please Use The Contacts Module To Creat This Entry" then I get a "A New Entry Could Not Be Added. The Action Could Not Be Completed"

I have also received a " The Address List Could Not Be Displayed. 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 Outlook Address Book, See Micrsoft Outlook Help."

Any sudgestions?

Outlook's Internet E-Mail is kept in personal folders, which end in a .PST extension. All your contacts are within that file.

If you also had a personal address book, it would be a .PAB extension. Some also use a Windows Address Book tied with, which is a .WAB.

But most Outlook users use a "Outlook Address Book", which is not a separate file, but the way your Contacts are shown as an address book. Right Click your Contacts, select properties, there should be an Outlook Address Book tab where you can check to ensure that your contacts e-mail addresses are shown in the Outlook Address Book, or as Contacts, however you name it.
