Data, for example, a phone number, that I enter into the Address Book, is not accepted, as the field is blank next time I use the Address Book.
I enter data (a phone number, for example) into an existing name in my Address Book. I save the entry. When I go back into the Address Book, the phone number I typed is not visible.

See this topic about repairing a corrupted address book:
Thanks for help. The "Tools/Export" function does not work. In general, the reply to solve a corrupted Address Book is beyond my technical capability. Any other ideas? Thanks all.
Export doesn't work? Are you using TB 75beta, where export is broken? Make sure to not select All Address Books when exporting.
Try this: create a new address book from File/New..., name it and close it, then drag a contact from Personal Address Book, while holding the Ctrl key, and drop it onto the new address book icon. Are changes to the contact in the new book retained between TB restarts?
I found the following suggestion on the Internet and it worked!
