Wow, I am amazed at your expertise with this issue....I would have never been able to go into the bowels of Outlook to find the fix for this. I am grateful to have gotten an address book back, and I love the way that you merged all the address books together that were corrupted and created a new one....it even looks different, clean, professional and not a hodgepodge of many years of contacts like it was before. Thank you so much for your help. Now I will be asking for some help re-setting up my Icloud account and folders.
