Hi Gene,

You did not backup your *.pst file properly. Go to "Help" in Outlook XP, and
write down problem with the address book. I am using Outlook 2003 the Dutch
version and when I was using Outlook XP, I encounter the same problem.

I hope this will help you,

Westly Montroos

I moved my outlook.pst file from old computer to new computer.  Both
computers had XP pro OS and Outlook XP.

Everything transferred (email and contact list) however, I cannot open
my address list and I get the following message: "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".

I can open the contact list so I know it is there I just can't access it
with the address list.

 Thanks for the help
Gene Johnson
