Contacts not showing up in Address Book
I am having trouble getting my Contacts in Outlook 2003 to appear in the
Address book. I had to format my machine and then I import my old pst file. I can see the contacts and everything under the contacts tab but not in the address book. I know there is an option in the properties of the Contact where I can see it to show this folder as an email Address Book but it is greyed out. What have I done wrong? |

Importing the pst file was the mistake. Why not import? (Courtesy of Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]) Importing an entire PST may well corrupt your profile and may create a ghost PST that you can't close. Importing PST's will lose: 1. Custom Forms 2. Custom Views 3. Connections between contacts and activities 4. Received dates on mail 5. Birthdays and anniversaries in calendar 6. Journal connections 7. Distribution Lists Opening a PST file will preserve all of these. That is why we do not advise people to import a native file into Outlook. You may well have a corrupt profile. Create a new one and the do (in Outlook) File-Open-Outlook Data File. You can then either set that file as the default location or copy the data over to the new file created by the new Profile. HTH |
