You've damaged the connection between the address book and your Contacts
folder by using whatever method you used to transfer your data. Click
Tools>E-mail Account>View or change existing directories or address
books>Next. Select Outlook Address Book and click Change. Remove all of
the Contacts folders you see in that list, click Close, then OK. Stop and
restart Outlook. Then right-click your Contacts folder, choose Properties,
select the Outlook Address Book tab and check the box labeled "Show this
folder as an e-mail Address Book. Click OK. The address book should work
correctly after that.
