well I'm not sure... I have so many .pst files (isn't that were the contacts are saved for the address book)?
I was just trying to have ONE .pst file for my account (and I have a 2nd outlook account for my hubby with a diff email address)...so I just wanted one .pst file for each of us...
his account is fine and mine is shot... seems that I cannot get the address book to recognize my contacts
At least you still have the Address Book there. Now you need to be able to import your Contacts.
Try this MS website.
Import Outlook items from a Personal Folders file (.pst) - Outlook
Or this one.
How to manage .pst files in Microsoft Outlook
Things seem to be getting confusing here so perhaps a screenshot of the Outlook Window might be helpful. I thought Office 2007 stopped supporting "Address Book" .
Here's how to post a screenshot on the Forum. make sure it shows all the Window.

thanks, but I ended up re-creating the address book...I spent at least 4 hours trying to resolve this, took me only 30 mins to recreate the book!!
I would like to know how to ensure I don't lose my contacts again and if there is a way to add email address to my address book from emails I receive
thanks all
Your contacts are stored in your default .pst file normally. With multiple pst files you may have gotten confused as to which one was storing the contact info??
how can I remove ALL unneeded pst files but NOT the one I need...
that is how I got in this mess to begin with :)
I just performed a major reorganization on my .pst files. What I did was create my new .pst in the location I wanted. I then made it my default default and closed and imported my old default .pst. I then proceeded to create new pst for archives and moved files where needed. Once everything was complete and I verified all my contacts and calendars I deleted the old pst files.
thanks for the input...but I have no clue what you are talking about...where my current .pst file is located is where I want it to stay...
