OK this is going to sound anal so I apologize and appreciate all help in
advance. I will be as specific as possible. My Contacts list has 232 contacts in it. Some have been imported from previous Outlook versions, most are new. I Share my file on a home network so it can be accessed and modified from my wife's laptop for her e-mail purposes; thus the same file is used on 2 computers. When I look at our "personal contacts" (hers is Kristina mine is Sean) in the list and go to the "Activities" tab, I am able to see all the Contacts, Calendar Items, tasks, etc that each of us has created. For examplae, I may have "Contact A" listed on Sean's activities tab if it was added at the desktop, but if she adds "Contact A's Anniversary" from the laptop, the anniversary appears in Kristina's Activity tab and not in mine. Additionally, I noticed while perusing Sean's Activity tab for duplicate entries, that some of the Contacts were not listed in either of our Activity tabs. To try and figure it out, I sent these Contacts to deleted items. Actually I sent all 232 Contacts to Deleted Items to get a good look at it. The way these COntacts appear in Deleted Items is without any "FROM Name" and without any "CREATED DATE." I anally copied all the contacts, birthdays, appointments that Appeared under Kristina's Activity tab over to Sean's. However there are far too many Contacts that were apparently "Created By Nobody" for this to be worth doing for those. A) Is there an easy way to switch them to appear under Sean short of deleting them and copying them into new Contacts from the Desktop before emptying the Deleted folder? As I said there are just too many. B) Can this have any adverse effect on my pst file? C) Why does this happen? Shouldn't all Contacts be independent anyway? Is there anyway to make all contacts, bnirthdays, anniversaries appear without being attached to the user of the Computer they were created on. I assume there must be or I wouldn't have the problem of the COntacts that have no FROM and no DATE. I told you this was a post written out of obsessively anal behavior but I have become bent on having these all appear in a standard uniform way and I won't be happy until I succeed. Thanks so much for reading, replying, and helping. I truly appreciate it more than you can imagine. Sean |
