    - I seem to have 2 Contact Lists and can not use the best one. Windows XP, Outlook 2007 - Office Enterprise 2007 (I think) at work. File 1 = "Address Book: Contacts" is accessed by e-mail and at the top of the Outlook Screen by clicking on an "Open Book" icon or Ctrl + Shift + B. File 2 = "Contacts - Microsoft Outlook" is accessed at the bottom of the outlook screen by clickin on a "Business Card" icon or at the top by "Go" "Contacts". File 1 is a brief list of what I had in 2003. File 2 is a near complete listing of what I had in 2003 and it got this way with me creating new contacts. I created new contacts using the File 1 screen, using "File, New Contact" completing the form and the entry shows up on File 2. I was told of a way to add listings to File 1 a while back and have contacted the man who told me how. My question is, Why do I have two lists. Can I make List 2 inco List 1 without all the typing?

    - Allow recording a birthday without a year Regarding birthdays, in many cases, the only information one has, or that is relevant, is the day of the year, not the year itself. Outlook 2007 cannot accommodate this case; it must assign a year in a Contact's birthday field. To record birthdays without a year, I could choose a flag year such as 1900, which would mean "year unknown" to me, but of course this solution is misleading to anyone who doesn't know the convention. It would be much cleaner if Outlook would simply offer and allow a null value for the year. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - Outlook Contacts Lost - Are they gone forever? A colleague is changing PCs and needed her contacts moved from one computer to another. I've done the export exercise in the past without luck. This time, we decided to move her contacts to a separate folder (to preserve the existing contacts in case of corruption) and copy that folder onto a thumb drive. Used the "create folder" option on the drop down menu, created the folder, and when I clicked Okay, only one contact was moved to the new folder. Went to the old folder to try to move the lot, and everything was gone. Only that one contact remained. There was no warning note of "are you sure you want to delete all files" or anything like that; looked high and low; had our system administrator search the server, they are just gone. How is this possible? By the way, this isn't the first time I've lost contacts - in a pc to mac conversion, the import/export feature completely lost them all. What a nightmare.

    - Contact Phone Numbers need resetting Hi, I have a public contacts folder set up in outlook 2000. Unfortunately the phone numbers were typed in the following format + 1 - 232 - 67890 (spaces and dashes as shown). We have now upgraded to outlook 2003 and now when we add new contacts the phone number format is set to +1 232 - 6789, even though we type in the format originally used (BTW the contacts form is moified which stops the numbers being underlined for some reason). The problem I have is that the 1300+ contacts that where already there need changing to match the new format. I have tried changing and reseting the Dialing properties to another country and back to UK, and exporting to PST file and re-importing, but no luck. Does anyone know how to automatically reset the existing phone numbers to the new format please. Thanks Tag: Multiple Semicolons error using manual Dist. List Tag: 125823

    - Outlook 2003 and Sharepoint I am working on a large multicenter project with three other people in a large academic setting. We have Outlook and Access 2003 on our computers. In addition, we have a Sharepoint website that is hosted by a third party. We have a large list of contacts that are devided into various committees and subgroups, and we are running into challenges maintaining the contact lists for communication. I have a couple of questions... At this point, we do not know of a way to link the contact information in our Access database with our Outlook contacts and distribution lists. Is that possible? We have tried creating Outlook distribution lists on the global directory with limited permissions as a means for members of our group to have access to the lists for communications, but this requires negotiating with our IT group to update the list. As our contact list is dynamic and there are frequent changes, this has proven ineffective. Is there a way to share contacts that allows others to send mail to shared distribution lists? We have been successful in sending mail to shared contacts, but the distribution lists will not work. Is it possible to maintain the contact list on Sharepoint in a way that would maintain the distribution lists? If not, do you have any suggestions on how we could integrate these 3 Microsoft products in a way that we are not having to update and maintain 3 separate lists of contact information? Thanks!

    - Contact filtering Does anyone know if there is a way to create a contact view in Outlook 2007 that is filtered by the first letter of either the last name field or the file as field. I used to use tabview organizer, and their tech support and I worked out SQL code (for the SQL tab) that allowed for this in their product, but they have not been able to get it to work properly with Outlook 2007, so I have lost the functionality since I upgraded. I have 34000 contacts in Outlook, and it would be great to be able to only look at a smaller list (by letter), rather than having to scroll through all 34000 contacts every time I need to find someone. Also, (and this is probably for the 3rd party addons discussion group, but someone might know) does anyone know of an addon similiar to 2007, that allows for multiple views to be overlapped (Tabview allowed me to create a view, i.e. "clients", using the built in view creator, and, then further filter the list by each letter of the last name, thus I could switch between clients and colleagues (2 different views), and then narrow the results (using a seperate view selector) to all people who's last name begins with each letter, thus I could very quickly sort through and find a contact within such a long list Tag: Multiple Semicolons error using manual Dist.
