Problem transfering contacts Outlook 2007
I have a strange thing here. I have two legitimate installations of Outlook
2007, one on a desktop and one on a laptop. The laptop has all my contacts on it. I created a new data file, added a folder "Contacts" with Contact Items set as the content type, and copied all my contacts into it. I then closed Outlook, and copied the new pst file to a shared network drive. On the desktop, I copied the pst file to the local HDD, opened Outlook, and did File-Open Outlook Data File. There is NO contacts folder to be seen in the opened pst file! Yet if I open the file on the other machine, there is the folder. What am I doing wrong?

Problem transfering contacts Outlook 2007
Use Folder List view to examine this PST file. If you did what you said, you
will see your Contacts Folder. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Gordon" wrote in message ... I have a strange thing here.

Solved this one - it doesn't show in the folder view, but it shows in the Contacts view. However, I have another problem - I've got an item under Contacts called "contact" from one of the failed attempts at transferring, and I can't delete it. It says the pst file is unavailable. I've probably deleted it. How do I get rid of this item?

Problem transfering contacts Outlook 2007
Correction: Contacts don't show in _Mail_ view. Contacts never have.
They most certainly do show in Folder List view and in Contacts view. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Gordon" wrote in message ... "Gordon" wrote in message ... I have a strange thing here.
