Where did my Contact Groups go?
Ask in an Outlook group how to import contacts from O2000 to O2007 in Vista.
They can probably indicate what files you need to copy over. steve "tupela_damon" wrote in message ... I recently used the Easy Transfer option in Vista Home Premium to transfer my Home XP files on my old computer onto my new. After the transfer was complete I noticed that my Contact Groups (Mailing Lists) in Outlook 2000 and Outlook Express 6 did not appear to be transferred into Windows Mail or Outlook 2007. Any ideas? I hate to have to recreate them as I had several lists. |

Where did my Contact Groups go?
Were you using Outlook 2000 in IMO or Corp mode? If IMO mode, I doubt the
groups came across. If I recall correctly, exporting from the wab does not include groups. If corp mode, copy the pst to Vista, use file, open and move the contacts to the new pst. Note: this is one situation where importing data into Outlook is better than just opening the pst and using it as your default message store. The pst in Outlook 2000 is the older, smaller format so you want to move the data to the new Outlook 2007 pst format. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: "tupela_damon" wrote in message ...

I would never trust that utility to transfer my Outlook Data. It is easy and
simple to transfer Outlook data using the supported method. Any other method loses data, including distribution lists. I trust you have a backup. Just open that backup in Outlook and set it as the default file. All your data will be there. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "tupela_damon" wrote in message ...

I suspect that part of the problem is that td was using Outlook 2000 in IMO mode, which uses Outlook Express "groups" not real Outlook distribution lists. THus, there were no distribution lists to transfer at all.

There's no reason to import Contacts. In Outlook 2007, open the OL 2000 PST and simply copy the contacts from the old Contacts folder to the new one. -- Brian Tillman |

Perhaps, but not necessarily. You created DL's in IMO the same as any other
version and they resided in the PST file. It's not clear whether this user was using DL's or WAB groups since both terms were used. I'd bet a dozen oysters that even DL's from Outlook 2000 wouldn't survive Easy Transfer. ET seems to be dropping a lot of things. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ...

Then you probably weren't even using Distribution Lists in Outlook 2000. You
never clarified that part for us. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "tupela_damon" wrote in message ... Note: Data on my old XP computer is not lost during Easy Transfer to my new Vista computer.

I am confused by the answers here. One says that all is lost, the other says
there is a simple solution. I downloaded the trial 2007 (I had XP service pack 2) and now my very important distribution list is gone. I am not so computer literate, so is there a step-by-step way to find my list?
