How do I get permission to access my contacts in address book?

[Pamela J]

When I click on address book I get a message: Could not be displayed.
Contacts folder associated with this address list could not be opened; may
have been moved or deleted, or do not have permission.
What do I do???????? I have selected that my contacts folder to be
displayed as my address book. Still can't access the address list.

Try removing the Outlook Address Book service (Tools | E-mail Accounts), restarting Outlook, adding the OAB back in, then restarting Outlook again.
