It sounds like the view is stuffed (that was technical) so reset the view
using the Command Line Switch.

I have come across an interesting problem with a single Vista workstation
in
a network environment.
Fault: When setting the view to categories for a contacts folder in public
folders the views state is not saved when closing outlook. (This is
usually
saved on the last view when the application is closed) It can be changed
but
when jumping to a mail folder and back to the contacts .OU the view will
revert back to business card format.

Other outlook 2007 applications on the network behave as expected.

Softwa
Workstation: Vista - Office 2007 + BCM
Server: SBS 2003 SP2 - Exchange 6.5 SP2

Any help that can be offered on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
