upgraded and lost all contacts

[lenny]

Hi,
I am sure this is simple but I am lost at the moment. I have just upgraded
from an older version of Outlook to Outlook 2003 but when I go to add an
address to an email from my address book it doesn't find them and I get the
'Microsoft LDAP Directory' box appear and a message that says "Can't contact
LDAP directory server (81)"

All the address's are still on the computer so how can I point my 2003
Outlook to the right place?

Thanks in advance,
Lenny

Go to Tools->Options->Mail setup->Email account->Directories->View or
Change. Remove the LDAP server. Go back one step and add the Outlook
Address book service. Close and restart Outlook.
