I imported my contacts into outlook 07 from outlook 00 and all showed up
fine. The probelm I am having is when I am typing an email and click to to choose an address I see all my contact folders that I set up as different groups and when I click on my "frends" group folder it shows all the names but the email address does not show up next to it. If I export the fiel to a csv I can see all the email addresses in there proper columns and they all show a display as entry. I am very confused with why the email address is not populating in the address book. Please help!! |

Open the COntacts folder int hat PST, select all the contacts with Ctrl-A, then drag the selection to your default Contacts folder. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

What if I don't have the original pst file any more. I had made a backup by exporting to csv for my contacts incase my computer ever crashed. My computer died so I used the backup to restore contacts on new computer. "Brian Tillman" wrote: Taxman wrote: I imported my contacts into outlook 07 from outlook 00 and all showed up fine.

importing the CSV is fine. If you click the To button and can see the
addresses, they have an email address. It sounds like the display name is not showing the address though. When you open a contact, what do you see for the display name? -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

A CSV is a valid back up - its smaller than a pst, does not require outlook
to access, and works well with other applications. If the name shows up when he clicks To, the addresses should be resolved. He can check by looking at the actual contacts he imported - the email address is underlined, they are resolved. If the selections work and the mail goes out they are resolved. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

I used a csv so I could open in excel if need be with out outlook. As far as
not having the original pst, I didn't discard by choice. As I said my old computer died. Thanks for the link for resolving files/ the contacts I imported are not underlined so I guess they are not resolved. Its strange taht the name would still show up in the field when I click on "To".

Perhaps you could mount the old disk in your new PC and recover that way. If, say, the motherboard died, the disk drive may be intact. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

Yes, it seems strange. Use the resolve tool at

I cannot get that utility to work on Vista because "This program requires MSVBVM50.DLL, which is no longer included in this version of Windows," according to the Details of the Program Compatibility Assistant that appears when I try to run it. Do you know of any Vista-compatible utilities for this issue on Outlook 2007? I Installed Office 2007 on a new computer, and opened my old PST from a previous version of Office. Thanks! |
