Steps to Reproduce Problem

Create profile-1 using Internet Email, Personal Folders, and Personal Address Book.

Create profile-2 using the Microsoft Exchange Server and Personal Address Book services. When configuring the Personal Address Book service, use the same PAB used in profile-1.

Open Outlook with profile-1, add an entry to the PAB, and quit Outlook.

Open Outlook with profile-2, open the PAB, right-click the entry added in the step above, click Properties, and attempt to edit the entry.
