SYMPTOMS
If you create contacts that reference a personal Address Book (PAB) entry in Outlook 2000, after you upgrade to Outlook 2002 and convert all your PAB entries to contacts, the contacts that referenced a PAB entry no longer work.
Opening the contact and double-clicking the e-mail address displays the following error message:
CAUSE
This issue occurs because the personal Address Book migrates to Outlook 2002 but is no longer configured as an address book.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, configure Outlook 2002 to use the personal Address Book:
- Search your hard disk for your personal Address Book (*.pab) file, and then write down the path and file name.
- On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
- Click Add a new directory or address book, and then click Next.
- Click Additional Address Books, and then click Next.
- Click Personal Address Book, and then click Next.
- Click Browse, and then go to the path you wrote down. Click the appropriate .pab file, click Open, and then click OK.
- Restart Outlook.
