    - Changing Destination of "backup.pst" Changes File Size ! I have XP Pro SP2 installed on my laptop with MS Outlook2003. I only use Outlook as a Contacts list and , until today , this data was saved as the file "backup.pst" in the path ;- C:\D&S\User Name\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft \Outlook and was 3241KB in size. As I now wish to keep all data out of the C;\ drive I have now saved this file to the E;\ drive and the file now has the path :- E:\Outlook\backup.pst. To my surprise this file is now only 1735 KB in size ! No Outlook contact data has been added or removed . Can anyone explain this discrepancy ? B.N.

    - Outlook link between contacts and mail A couple of weeks ago my computer failed - possibly due to virus or other error. Through use of a boot disk, I was able to save my .pst files to another drive. I have formated a new drive, reinstalled Windows, Office, etc. I copied my .pst file to the new drive. Outlook now shows two Personal Folders files, with two Contacts files, as well as a Business Contacts file which I filled by importing from my Contacts folder. My contacts files are all complete and contain all of the previous contact information from the drive that failed, but I cannot access any of them from the Mail function. If I select New from the mail window and then attempt to fill an address by selecting To: or cc: I get a blank dialog box and cannot type anything into it. I can, however, start from the Contacts window and initiate an email but if I want to use multiple recipients or CC, etc. I have to then copy and paste all of the addresses into the email form. How can I restore the link between Mail and Contacts? Any help will be appreciated. -- Charlie Tag: Restoring backed up contacts from an external hard drive Tag: 124448

    - Show Contacts above Global Address List in "Show Names from the" L Hi, when I create an email in Outlook 2003, click the "To" button to select recipient names, Contacts used to be listed above Global Address List. I had a problem with my profile and recreated it, but I now find that when I go through the process to select recipients, Contacts is now at the bottom of the list. Does anyone know how I can move it to the top of the list so that I only have to go up one nudge from the Global Address List to Contacts. Going through Tools - Address Book, then Tools - Options within the Address Book screen, changing any of the options does not work. Thanks.

    - New Journal Entry for Contact I've recently upgraded from Office XP (2002) to Office 2007. When I'm working with a Contact page, I no longer see the command "New Journal Entry for Contact". This is really used by me a lot to record everything about that interaction. I've looked everywhere I can think of, and haven't found it; I did find the Journal button, but that only produces a generic journal form. The old way actually filled in a lot of the blanks for me. Also, I'd like to turn on Journaling for all my Contacts, but they're in subfolders, so apparently the software still doesn't allow me to do that, same as in Office 2002. Please, help me find that command button! Tag: Restoring backed up contacts from an external hard drive Tag: 124408

    - Contact issue I have a rather complicated upgrade history. I went from using Outlook express to outlook2003 to outlook2007 within the last 2 months. All I needed to dod before to get an e-mail address to autopopulate was start entering the name from my contac menu. For some reason some of them are autopropogating as expected and others are not. I have checked the ones that do and the ones that dont and there is no logistical difference between them. Has anyone else had this problem? Any trick to making it work.

    - Merging contact lists from two computers I access the same email account from multiple locations, and over time there are slight differences in the contact email lists. I have in the past put the .pst file on a flash drive, transferred it to the new machine, and use the "Open Outlook Data File" function to successfully move Outlook around. If I just want to move the contacts, do I still move the entire .pst file? I would imagine I would open the second file, after making sure it has a different .pst file name and a different "name" for the personal folder. Then open the contacts in the second folder, and do a copy/paste operation to get the contacts I wanted into the "primary" file? Followed by closing the secondary .pst file and ultimately deleting it? My idea is that after one or two tries, I'd have a master contact list which I could then distribute as needed..... I'm sorry, I have a feeling I'm making this way too complicated, but I just don't want to fool with the third party programs......

    - Sharing contacts in Outlook 2003 How can we share contacts in Outlook WITHOUT MS Exchange. All the solutions I've seen indicate using Public Folders but these are not visible in Outlook. Are they only available with Exchange. ? Tag: Restoring backed up contacts from an external hard drive Tag: 124305

    - Multiple contact lists - can Outlook 2007 search? I have several contact lists that I've accumulated over the years. Problem- I can see all these contact lists inside of Outlook, but when I go to send an e-mail to one of my contacts, Outlook will not look inside all of the contact lists to find the person I am looking for. I am using Windows Vista and Outlook 2007. Is there a way for Outlook to go look at these contact lists automatically? Thanks in advance - Anne Tag: Restoring backed up contacts from an external hard drive Tag: 124298

I back up my computer on a seagate hard drive. My contacts show up as a file
on the seagate hard drive. Recently, I restored the file back on my computer
but I can't import the data back into my contacts on Outlook.
