Server Blew - Address Books Lost
Our office server blew over 2 weeks ago. We have recovered all e-mail except
My Address Books are Missing and I still have a Calender & Calendar1 & Contacts & Contacts1 - neither of which I can delete or rename. Calendar1 & Contacts1 contain my information but Calendar & Contacts are blank and cannot be deleted. We backed up my outlook on my hard drive. Is there any what I can: recover my multiple address books, put the information in Calendar1 & Contacts1 into the other 2 folders, or at least delete and rename the ones I want to keep? Thanks! Moira

How did you "recover" the data? Describe exactly what you did. Outlook's "address book" is nothing more than a view of your Contacts folders. It doesn't contain any data on its own. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

Server Blew - Address Books Lost
Hi Brian:
The guy who sold us the new Server did the re-install. He managed to re-install my Outlook and all my e-mails twice and then couldn't figure out why I was over quota! I'm the one who found the duplication of all the e-mail folders. We have been 3+ weeks at this, and I have about 7 or 8 address books that are M.I.A.. Apparently he keeps saying I thought I got your stuff all fixed. I am at a point that I want to fix it myself. I did backup my Outlook to a mailbackup.pst file. I would even like the option of printing out my address books, and re-creating them. There are several of us in the same office in the same boat, all ready for rubber tooms! Thanks!

Brian, I forgot to mention that we were supposed to get Outlook 2003 and
instead our tech guy install Outlook 2000. Thanks again! Moira "Moira" wrote: Hi Brian: The guy who sold us the new Server did the re-install.

.pst Sounds like the techie copied entire folders rather than the contents of the folders. Open, for example, Contacts1 and select all the items in it with CTRL-A. Then click EditCopy and specify Contacts as the destination. To the same with Calendar1 and Calendar. You'll need to display Calendar1 in a table view like By Category before CTRL-A will select all the items. When you've finished copying, right-click Calendar1 or Contacts1 and choose Delete or simply select the folder and press Delete on the keyboard. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]
