    - Outlook 2007: Missing "Contacts" folder after power failure A friend has a computer with Windows XP and Office 2007. Recently they had a power failure where the computer was on at the time. When the power came back, they had some difficulty logging back into the computer but they eventually got in. They have recovered most of their email content however there are two users/profiles on the machine and both email profiles are missing their respective "contacts" folder along with the content. I ran a search for the .pst files on the hard drives and could not find the files. Could the power outage have caused partial data loss? This hgardly seems likely as both contacts folders are gone but it seems as though those are the only folders that are missing. Thanks in advance for your help!

    - How do I delete recently imported contacts in Outlook 2000? I recently lost the display on my IBM T40. Luckily, my wife has the same laptop, so I exported my outlook contacts (Outlook 2000) from my laptop, and imported them into a separate Personal Folder File (or so I thought) on my wife's laptop. Not only did it load my 750 contacts into her Outlook contact list, but it duplicated them. So instead of having her 150 contacts, she has 1,650 contacts. I am looking for a way to undo this and perhaps take her outlook program back to a time prior to my attempt at the import. Tag: Move contacts data file to outlook contacts Tag: 125684

    - Global Contact List for use on Mobile Phone Outlook 2007 Exchange Server 2003 We would like to be able to create a public contact list that can be shared by multiple users whilst still maintaining our own private contact folder for use on our mobile phones. However our mobile phones will only retrieve contact information from our default Personal Contacts folder (not address book) so we need to be able to have the Public Contacts folder update our Private Contacts. All of the software that can be purchased to do this states that you should purchase the software vice a pricey exchange server, but we already have the pricey exchange server so I was hoping to not have to buy the 3rd party software.

    - Live Search Maps - Can't find the locations I have XP SP2 Professional and Home and have experienced a problem with Outlook Live Search Maps starting a few months ago. On the Contact page of Outlook when I click on the icon to "display Map of address" it no longer can find any address. The problem is that it now automatically adds "United States of America" to the search address and I have to remove it from the search address in order to find the location. It didn't used to add "USofA" and I would like to know how to make it work the way it did before. Any help would be appreciated. Tag: Move contacts data file to outlook contacts Tag: 125661

    - Outlook Address Book Will Not Open Outlook Address Book Will Not Open After Format C and Reload As Shipped Software Background: I have 32 bit Microsoft Vista Ultimate. It is running on a Dell XPS420 with Q6600, 2.4GHZ quad processor that I purchased in December 2007. I have 4 GB @ 667 MHZ of memory (3.3 GB usable). I have a 256 MB ATI HD 2600 graphics card. I have a Dell Ultrasharp 22 inch monitor (1680 x 1050 pixels). I use McAfee VirusScan Plus. I have Office Professional 2003 and use Outlook for e-mail. Microsoft Works 8.5 and Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 came with the computer. I have 2 Optical drives E: & F: a 320 GB SATA hard drive C: & D: and a 250 GB SATA hard drive G: for backup. Microsoft update is auto and all Microsoft Windows software is current. Other programs such as McAfee VirusScan, Windows Defender etc. are up to date. Problem: I had to format C and reload the Dell as shipped software because Vista was damaged and could not be repaired. I saved the Outlook.pst file and loaded it after I reloaded Microsoft Office. I have all my old e-mail. I can see my Contacts in the Contacts Folder but when I select To: I get the following error message: I get the same error message when I select Tool/Address Book: The address list (book ?) could not be displayed. The contacts folder associated with this address list (book ?) could not be opened. It may have been moved or deleted or you do not have permissions. For information on how to remove this folder from the Outlook Address Book, see Microsoft Office Outlook Help. The Microsoft Office Outlook Help â??Remove contact folder from address bookâ?? does not help or address the problem. Can anyone please help me fix Microsoft Outlook 2003 so that it can see and use my contacts in the Contacts Folder. Tag: Move contacts data file to outlook contacts Tag: 125605

    - Two profiles pointing to the same Contact file? WinXP Home SP3, Outlook 2003 I think I wore Brian Tillman out. I want to have two profiles point to the same Contacts file. My whole story detail is in the topic "One set of contacts for two profiles" starting on 5/21 at 5:37 PM; however, the only question I have left now is in my last post dated 5/31 at 11:14 PM, as follows: 'But just to show you how stubborn I am, would you mind answering one last question on this topic? I said in the letter below, "In attempting to execute your "Just add" procedure, I got into Control Panel | Mail | Data Files (it defaulted to Profile A) and added Profile B's .pst file, but that resulted in Profile A showing only Profile B's contacts." If I did combine everything into B (and then deleted all of A's contacts), would that solution work, or are there other concerns that would shoot me down?' I have succeeded in making both sets of contacts identical through judicious use of import/export. I want to delete one, for the sake of disk space and to eliminate the risks associated with double posting of changes. Tag: Move contacts data file to outlook contacts Tag: 125594

    - Why text in phone number field of Contacts turns into numbers? I have lots of phone nos for contacts, so in switching from Ecco to Outlook I have kept the practice of putting a name or location in the ph no. field to help identify them, e.g. if there's a couple both with mobile nos., I put "503-555-12121 Joe mobile" in the Other phone no. field. My Blackberry 8830 turns the letters into numbers, making the ph no undialable (rejected by carrier). Putting quotes around the letters doesn't help. I gather I can't change the label name for just one contact - so how can I leave text yet not have it turned into a number that is dialed by my blackberry?

    - Editing Contact Lists I recently switched to Outlook from OE and I never had this problem in OE. When I delete or modify info for a contact in my "main" address book, the change does not affect the address that is in a distribution list. For example, when I delete a contact from the address book, ithe entire entry remains in distribution lists. I know I can deal with the entries individually, but this seems like a bug to me. -- Sandra Tag: Move contacts data file to outlook contacts Tag: 125564

    - Outlook keeps crashing or restarting. Hello, I have a strange problem with Outlook 2007. Everytime I add or edit a telephone number in Contacts Outlook will crash. I can add any other items like address, company name, email address etc. with no problems. OS is Vista Home Premium w/SP1. Offfice 2007 is updated to SP1 and all important updates for Vista and Office are installed. Machine is clean of Spyware or anything that would disrupt file system.

    - Outlook 2007 Hi, I have recently changed to a new laptop running Vista Home Premium and MS Office Pro 2007. Before I was using XP and 2003. I copied my .pst file across from the old laptop so that I could see all my contacts, emails, calendar notes etc and this is fine. However, now when I try to send an email to someone in my address book, it isn't there - if I click on the To: button it brings up a blank list. Yet if I go to the contacts tab, all my email contacts are there. Any suggestions would be most welcome. Many thanks. -- Trish Tag: Move contacts data file to outlook contacts Tag: 125542

    - Moving contacts from 1 folder to another I just discovered a new problem (I assume it was created by a recent hotfix or service pack, because it didn't used to be a problem) If I create a contact, I can move it to a different folder, but I can only move it once, after it has been moved, I can't move it to another folder, or back to the original folder. I use multiple folders to manage contacts that I don't need routinely (on my phone). When I need the contact I move it into the main contacts folder, and when I don't need to carry it, I move it into one of several sub-folders. But, all of a sudden, I am unable to move the contact more than once. What happened??????? I am using Office 2007 SP1 running on XP SP3 Tag: Move contacts data file to outlook contacts Tag: 125535
