Outlook contacts not correct

Windows XP
Outlook 2003

This computer we just completley formatted and everything was re-installed.
I imported this persons contacts in Outlook 2003.  When you select the " Contacts" button in Outlook, all his contacts are there.  Unfortunately, when you create a new email and select the "TO" button to select a contact there is a problem.  Only contact from A to M are there.

Should I just try to re-import his contacts again?

The only thing that I know of that can cause some contacts to be missing is a corrupt pst file. Try exporting them again and then re-importing.
This could also be a corrupt contact.  The contact name will be in the M's or the very next to the last one you can see by clicking To:.

What I would suggest is to export the contacts to a .csv file and take a look at in that file for the contact causing the issue.  What you can do is look for any odd characters that Outlook may be misinterpreting thereby causing the issue and manually correct it, then save the file.  You could also delete the contact in question and save the .csv file.

After you've done this, import the .csv file back into the Contacts folder and the issue should be resolved.
