Can no longer see fields in contact searches
When I do a search under all contact items, I have the phone list feature set
to show the Company and e-mail address associated with those names. I tried yesterday to sort by company after I did the search, and all the companies disapeared completly! Now I have managed to repeat the error (somehow) with the e-mail addresses too. Now when I do a search all I see is their name....Please help, I really need to be able to view all of this information again. I have tried removing the fields and then re-displaying them that does not work. I can still see the information under each Contact Group...just not on the search feature. |

Can no longer see fields in contact searches
There's no information here.
Outlook version and search method are the least you'll need to provide. List the changes you made before you lost this feature. Does your phone list view still appear intact when you view the Contacts Folder on which the search was based? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "lbeemer" wrote in message ...

Can no longer see fields in contact searches
It is Outlook 2007. Under contacts - I just use the search bar at the top -
It says "Search all contact Items" if that helps. I did not make any changes except to try and sort the list by company. It was sorted by name - then had company and e-mail columns as well. I clicked on the company column to sort and all the Company names just disappeared. The phone list feature is working fine in all of my other folders. The search view is the only one I am having problems with. I have around 1000 customers in my contacts, but seperated into several folders, so am desperate to be able to search all folders at once...but need thier company info to display. I have tried switching the view to address cards, etc. but it still does not display the information unless I open each contact. Thanks!

Use Advanced Find instead of Instant Search and see if you can reproduce the
problem. No one has ever reported this that I've ever seen. Look for other changes you've made, add-ins, custom forms--anything that makes you different from everyone else. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "lbeemer" wrote in message ... It is Outlook 2007.

Can no longer see fields in contact searches
Now when I try to do an instant search the whole program freezes. I have no
idea what has happened. I have tried to run a repair on outlook, but that did not fix it. I am going to attempt to re-install the program. I will let you know.

Clearly there is a lot more to your story than you have divulged.
Reinstalling Outlook won't help anything. Since you have no information to provide, I would at least try the generic options that might help: 1. Repair your data file 2. Create a new profile. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "lbeemer" wrote in message ... Now when I try to do an instant search the whole program freezes. I have no idea what has happened.

Can no longer see fields in contact searches
Trust me, I really need to get this fixed and it has put a major damper on my
ability to complete a time sensitive project. If there was any information at all that could help fix this problem I would be divulging it! The problem with the instant search turned out not to be the searching part, but displaying the results...on a whim I put in some jibberish and found no results returned. After changing the current "view" in that all contacts section the search feature worked again. I changed several things, so I am unsure what setting was freezing it up, but it could not display any results that it found. However I am still encountering the same problem with the fields refusing to dispay under the search all contacts view using the instant search. I was unsure what you meant by trying an advanced search, but by expanding the quary builder I did encounter the same problem. I have concluded on my own that because I can not see the fields in question under any view of search results, that there is some qlitch with the fields not the view settings. I bet if I added a different field/column, and then tried to sort by it, it would disapper permantly as well. I suppose it is something I will just have to find some way to work around.

Scratch that part about the advanced search, I found it and it does display
the company field. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Clearly there is a lot more to your story than you have divulged. Reinstalling Outlook won't help anything.
