Post subject: Removing an empty contact list Archived from groups: microsoft>public>outlook>contacts (more info?)
Not sure how I did this but when I click on the "To" button when sending an
e-mail, I get a message that says: "The address could not be displayed. The
Contact folder with this address could not be opened...... etc.". If I click
on OK it opens a dialog box (Select Names) when I open the drop down list
there are three entries: Outlook Address Book, Contacts, Contacts. If I click
on the second Contacts entry listed, I get the Contacts list. Does anyone
know how to correctly associate this list with the buttons on an e-mail?

Hard to suggest a solution when you don't state your Outlook version.

Click Tools>E-mail Accounts>View or change existing directories or address
books>Next. Select Outlook Address Book and click Change. Delete the bogus
entry there. Stop and restart Outlook.

If I double click on that I get a new dialog box "Microsoft Office Address Book" which has 2 identical entries: "Contacts: Personal Folders". I then have the opportunity to delete one but have no idea which one to delete or even if I should delete one.

Delete either one. If you delete the wrong one, add it back and delete the
other. You're only deleting a corrupt link, not data.
