    - Importing not working in outlook 2002 My problem is that when importing into outlook. I select the file to import then the next screen does not allow me to go any further as the next button and the map custom fields button are greyed out. I have spent many hours now trying to find a solution and followed lots of advise, so far I have tried importing from access, excel, csv and have the same problem with them all. I updated my installation so everything is loaded correctlt, I ran the detect and repair and all seems ok.

    - Random asterisks Hello, I'm using an Exchange 2003 server with Outlook 2002 on Windows XP Pro clients. On one of the clients, when the user adds data into a new or existing Contact such as the tel #, repeating random asterisks appear in the field. Once it happens, we are not able to click into that field to delete them. This has happened a few times and before I try switching out the keyboard and/or running an Office Detect & Repair, I wanted to see if this is a known issue with a resolution. Thanks....

    - Change Outlook 2007 contact reminder default time from 4:00pm When I set a follow-up reminder for a contact in Outlook 2007, the default reminder time is set at 4:00pm!!! I know if I change my working day from 8:00am-5:00pm to 8:00am-9:00am it will move the default reminder time to 8:00am as the default reminder time is set to one hour before the end of your working day which is useless as most people start there working day at 8:00am not 4:00pm. The problem is my working day is from 8:00am - 5:00pm and that is how I want outlook set-up. If I set my working day to 8:00am-5:00pm then my default reminder, start time moves to 4:00pm one hour before the end of my workday. Very stupid if you ask me. The programmer must have been smoking weed and only started work at 4:00pm. Seems to me that this is a huge bug in Outlook 2007 that has not been fixed. When will Microsoft release a fix for this problem? 10 years from now? Tag: New Contacts Tag: 124118

    - Deleting contacts Hi, I was having a clean out and thought I was deleting contacts when in fact I was just deleting them from my address book, which I now realise is an entirely separate thing. Is there a way I can quickly delete the contacts I want to get rid of without going through the process manually again? It would be handy to add a category to all my remaining contacts in the address book at once and then delete any contact not categorized, but that doesn't seem to be possible. Thank you Paul Tag: New Contacts Tag: 124111

    - conversion error import contacts from csv Hi, I made a program to generate a .csv file, to be imported with the menu (File - Import/export etc) into outlook 2003. A month ago it worked, but now there results a conversion error, after selecting the import file, and selecting the destination (Contacts), just before the screen with the field assignments should appear (now it doesnot). When I create a new file manually, and copy the content, the import works well. The strange thing is that the import worked well, a month ago. What could have changed? The red cross error says (translated from dutch, so do not take it literally): "there has been a file error in the By listseparatorsigns separator values (windows)-conversionprogram while initialising a conversion program for building a field assignment. The data of file xxxxx could not be read. Check whether you chose the right file, or have the right authorisation to open or whether it has not been opened by another program". Any help is welcome.

    - I have an issue that NO ONE has been able to solve... I have a new Dell computer running Vista. My issue is when I create a Journal entry for a contact and then go to view it via Activities it randomly shows the entries. Sometimes it shows the Journal entry the first time I click on Activities, sometimes it shows the Journal entry the 5th time I click on Activities. If I reopen the Contact after I was able to view the Journal I may or may not be able to view it again. Both Dell and Microsoft Tech Support have NO IDEA why it acts this way.

Number of total contacts (where are you seeing the data) or number of Unread
contacts with a blue bracketted number behind the Contacts Folder?

What version?

How are you making the Contacts?
