After creating a new profile etc. following "Enter Network Password"
problems (subject of an earlier post) I find I cannot address e-mail. All
my Contacts show up; e-mail comes in and I can reply to e-mail. But when I
compose a new e-mail and click on "To" to enter a Contact's e-mail address I
get this error 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 permission. For information on how to remove
this folder from the Outlook Address Book, see Microsoft Office Outlook
Help." (

Then the "Select Names" window opens and the little Show Names From window
says Contacts. But the darned thing is totally blank. I would assume that
Address Book, Address List and Contacts are pretty much the same thing but
obviously they are not--at least to OL. I have no idea which of these OL
uses when I click on "To" or maybe there is something else again. I would
appreciate any help to get this part of OL working again!
