Quick Click replaces current category?
Windows XP SP3, Outlook 2007
When I use the Quick Click to add a color category to a contact in the phone
list table view, it replaces the current category if there is only one. If
there is no category assigned, it adds the one I've selected for Quick Click.
If there are already more than one categories assigned, it adds the new one.
BUT, if there is only one category currently assigned, it REPLACES it with
the new one.
This certainly seems to be a bug! Any ideas? Tag: calendar for crew change Tag: 126846
Current View Changes, Missing Contacts
I apologize in advance if this has been answered; I couldn't find an answer
so perhaps I'm using the worng search terms.
I just had a system crash and had to reformat and reinstall Vista and all
apps. I have an offsite backup service, from which I recovered my OL 2007
pst file. I went by the book (started OL, let it build a default PST, opened
my desired pst, changed the default mail delivery, restarted, removed
undesired pst file.) I noticed immediately that not all of my contacts were
restored, from a backup that is only one day old. (I have a bunch of numeric
items such as 123 Company that always appear at the top of the list. Now the
list begins with the letter "A" and some contacts that I know I have
beginning with A are simply not there, either; this I confirmed by looking at
my AT&T Tilt Smartphone contacts from yesterday's synchronization.) A
related issue is that when I change the "current view" to the view I prefer,
address cards, when I leave contacts for another folder and return, the view
has gone back to the default phone list view.
I'm guessing that when I synch my phone again, that at least the missing
contacts issue will be resolved, if I set it up properly -- and I'm not sure
whether to set it for desktop to overwrite the phone or vice versa.
I sure could use a hand!

Buiness Contact Manager Install
I am trying to run Business Contact Manager with my Outlook 2003. The
new file menu for business contact manager is not showing on the
Outlook file menu even though I have run the application. The program
appears to have installed correctly but when the wizard runs it never
goes past the "create new database" step (I've made 10 so far,
somewhere?). I have not used Business Contact Manager before so I am
learning as I go.
I tried creating a new data base from the File_Data File Management
Menu and at least I got an error message this way. It reads: "Could
not find stored procedure 'ir_GetSBAinfo' . Any ideas what this
means? Can I fix it some how so I will be able to use Contact Manager?
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Business Contact Manager, and run
the repair/fix for Outlook from the install disk. I didn't want to
try uninstalling /installing Outlook till I asked around because I
will loose my e-mails and settings for my POP3 connections.
Any Ideas would help?

Saving email address contact information for non-contacts?

Move all contacts from one folder to another
I have 314 contacts in the "Contacts" tab under "personal Folders." I have

move those 458 to the "Contacts" folder with the other 314. How do I do this?
The main problem I'm having is when I compose a new message, when I click
"TO:" the tab-down menu shows both folders, but if I search for someone and
they're not in the "Contacts" folder, then I have to switch to the other
folder and it is a pain and a waste of time. Tag: calendar for crew change Tag: 126822

Copying contacts (verify)
I need to format my laptop which has Vista and Office Professional 2003 and I
would like to verity how to copy my contacts and know how to copy them back
before I have formatted. I have done this before many years ago and ended up
with 3 or 4 contacts list and I dont want to do that again.
I located the .pst file in
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\ and have copied it onto a
CD since I will be formatting.
Once I format (this I am not entirely sure I am correct)
Put a copy of the .pst file from the CD in the same location as above. I am
assuming it will ask me if I want to override and say yes.
I saw Russ post this to someone else and I am assuming this is done once I
copy the .pst file as stated above?
To use a PST file from an earlier installation and set it to be the default
for your current installation of Outlook:
- Go to Tools > Options > Mail Setup > Data Files > Add...
- Add the PST you'd like as your new default, then Close > OK to exit the
Options dialog
- Go to Tools > E-mail Accounts > View or change existing e-mail accounts
- Select the PST you just added in the "Deliver New e-mail to the following
location" dropdown (it will most likely appear just below the current
default Personal Folders file) > Finish
- Exit and Restart Outlook
- You can now close the previous default PST (R-click on that pst folder
while in Folder View and select "Close <foldername> Folders"). If you have
any information in your former PST that you'd like to transfer to your new
default PST, you can drag and drop from one to the other before you close
the old one. Tag: calendar for crew change Tag: 126813

Outlook 2007-Full Name is displaying backwards
Hi. I recently imported contacts into Outlook 2007 from Excel. The
information seems to have imported correctly. The only problem is that the
full name is shown backwards. e.g. Smith Bob (no comma). When I click on the
full name dialog box, the last name is in the correct place Last Name: Smith
and respectively First Name: Bob, but it just displays backwards in the full
name field and in the contact list and on the business card. 'File as' is
correct as well e.g. File as: Smith, Bob. That is fine... I have tried to
change the current view customization, sorting by full name, last name, first
name, none, etc. Under Tools, Options, Contact Options I have set the Default
Full Name order as First (Middle) Last. I currently and usually have the
current view set as Phone List. Any ideas for me??? I would really apprecaite
it. I have been trying to fix this for 2 days.

An additional address list/folder with full rights for all users?
Hi all,
In my business we use Outlook 2003/Exchange.
Earlier we used Lotus Notes/Domino. In Notes/Domino we had three address
books, the global Notes/Domino address book (containing the users of the
system and group addresses), each user's personal address book and one
additional one with contacts outside the business. In this last one we had a
few groups which people sent email to from outside the Notes/Domino system.
These emails were then forwarded to all the members of the group, most of
them outside the business.
Is it possible to do such a thing in Outlook 2003/Exchange as well?
We don't want to have all these people into the Global Address List because
they aren't users of our system. Is it possible to have an address
list/folder with full rights for all users in the Global Address List
allowing people outside the business to send emails to a group and then have
these mails distributed to all the members of that group? All users in the
Global Address List must be allowed to edit this address list/folder.
The Outlook/Exchange experts we have engaged aren't able to find a solution
- but I'm certain there must be one. Can you help? If you can, please let me
know. On beforehand thank you very much.

Problems Resolving Email Addresses in Outlook
I just reformatted my hard drive and re-installed all of my software,
including Outllook. I have also installed all of the available fix packs for
Office Professional XP. Unfortunately, though, I am still having problems
addressing my email. Whenever I type a name into the 'To' field of a new
message Outlook is not able to recognise it. Yet, if I click 'To' I am able
to select the name I just typed and the name appears on my email and Outlook
is able to recognise it. The next name I type in is again not recognised.
If I click 'Check Names' Outlook stops at the first name I typed and asks me
if I would like to 'Create a new address' for the non-recognizable name. When
I then click 'Show names' Outlook not only opens the Address Book but it
highlights the name I typed in!
If I compose a new email and type one of the names that I had already taken
directly from the address book then it will instantly recognize it.
Occasionally though, in cases like this it replaces it with a non-existing
display name! I have checked for such a non-existing display name by
expporting my contacts into an Access file and then using Access to query for
the non-existing display name. No such display name was ever found. If I then
import this Access table into Outlook -- and tell it to replace all of the
duplicates -- nothing changes (i.e. Outlook continues as if nothing
happened). Well ALMOST nothing. Outlook switches the name in the 'File As:'
field for all of the contacts. I then have to correct the entry in this field
for each of my contacts.
Does anyone know how I can correct these problems?
