vanishing address book

After I have imported contacts into Entourage, I cannot see them when
I go to email a new message. They are not shown in the address list in
the new message window, nor can I see them when I start typing names.
I can only see those address in my GAL. If I create a new address it
will show up but not the imported ones. I have tried opening each
contact to get them to re-register and rebuilding the database of
Entourage. Is there a fix or is this a limitation of Entourage. I am
running OSX Jag and Entourage ver X with the latest update.

Copy the script below, everything between and including "Tell application"
and "end tell."

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
activate
set theContacts to (every contact)
repeat with theContact in theContacts
open theContact
close window 1
end repeat
beep 2
display dialog "All done" buttons {"OK"} default button 1 with icon 1
giving up after 3600
end tell

Then, launch Script Editor, which you can find in
/Applications/AppleScript/. Paste the script in, and click the "Run"
button. Wait for the script to finish, and then quit Script Editor. The
addresses now should appear in the AutoComplete list.
