Outlook problem with Contacts

[Rocketdoc]

On both my desktop and laptop computer, I've lost the ability to access my
contacts as addesses for my emails.

It gives a message that my LDAP Directoy is missing or something like that.

If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it very much.

You've left out a lot--like what you did to "lose this ability."
To get it back, remove the LDAP and use the Outlook Address Book Service
instead.
I'll assume you know how. You posted no version information.

Actually, I'm as close to a computer moron as can be, and still be able
to brush my teeth.

I don't know how the LDAP Directory "left" (or what it is), and I don't
know how to use the Outlook Express Book Service.

Using Outlook 2003, I think.

Please have some mercy for those who are too old to know that much about
computers other than how to screw them up.

Regards,

CP

In Outlook 2003, just go to Tools > E-mail Accounts > View or change
Existing directories or address books.
Remove the LDAP Service
Add the Outlook Address Book Service
You may then need to enable your Contacts Folder as an email address book in
its properties.

Thank you very much.

I earnestly hope that there is no "new" technology ongoing when you reach
your retirement years.
