You named what "Fax Contacts?" You can't rename a default Outlook folder.
You should have imported into your default Contacts Folder, then moved them
to a separate subfolder if that's what you wanted to do.
How many Contact Folders do you now have? What exactly is listed when you go
to Tools E-mail accounts View or change existing directories or address
books Outlook Address Book Change.
You'll likely need to remove and re-add the Outlook Address Book Service in
your Profile to fix the corruption after you straighten out your Contacts
Folders.

Hi Russ,

I did some cleaning up, and now understand more of how Outlook works. I
now
have only the Outlook Today - [Personal Folders] heading, with the 10
folders
under it, and its file is outlook.pst. I followed the instructions using
the
Outlook Address Book tab in File-Folder-Properties for Contacts and named
it
Fax Contacts. I imported the *.wab file successfully. But when I click on
fax
wizard addresses (and still get the address list cannot be displayed
message)
there is a duplicate for every fax name. I tried every which way of doing
the
importing and the duplicates are always there. And if I delete one of each
pair, both of the pair disappear.

Because I have only about 20 contacts, I'll probably just enter them by
copy
and paste, unless you have a quick way for me to eliminate the duplicates,
which would also help others following this thread. It would also be nice
to
get rid of the error message. And I still don't understand why I can't
enter a
New entry into Contacts in the Fax Wizard -- can only do so to Fax
Contacts.

Thanks as usual.

For anyone reading this thread, the sequence for importing the Windows
Address
Book to Outlook Contacts is:
select Contacts
File-Import and Export
Import Internet Mail and Addresses
Microsoft Internet Mail 3.x
Outlook Contacts Folder
Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Address
Book\username.wab
