    - Missing Contacts Folder in Outlook 2003 SP-3 I was/am setting up my Outlook on my new (Vista) machine. I was going through removing all duplicate contacts, and placing tem in a separate folder - Duplicate Contacts. In the meantime I was setting up some o my views. In doing so, I mistakenly selected names from the Duplicates folder to place in the "To" field as part of the view definition. Then, I believe that I deleted the Duplicates folder. Now, when I go to these views, I get an error because the name designated in the "To" field exists no more, since the folder itself is (apparently) gone. But I canot seem to get rid of the link between the view and the Duplicates folder and correctly tie it to the name in the Contacts folder. Is there a way to fix this? And to remove the "Duplicate Contacts folder from the Outlook "memory"? Regards, Chuck Billow After I had found all the duplicates, Tag: contacts not adding up correctly..help Tag: 124667

    - Temporarily changing contents of Contact lists I have set up several versions of my Contact List for forwarding e mails w/o covering the sender. Periodically many of my contacts ask that I not send mail because they will be out of town. Without going through and manually deleting a contact from each of the lists (in this case 26 lists) is there another way to temporarily remove a contact? In a perfect world this would also have an option for the time period that the contact would be deleted. If I delete/change the address in the Contacts list in my address book it does not change it in does not change it in the contacts list. Any suggestions?

    - Contacts Randomly Disappearing in Outlook. Hi everyone, One of my clients has contacts disappearing from their contact list. The contacts are disappearing randomly with no pattern I can identify. I've done a search, but I haven't found any satisfactory answers. The customer is in a hosted exchange environment (meaning the exchange server is hosted off-site along with a Blackberry Exchange Server service). Only one account is affected (that we can identify). Three other people have editor access (and they are not deleting these contacts). There are 7 other users, but they only have reviewer status. There is one more twist. The actual user does not actually add/remove anything from the list. Their office manager manages the list from her computer. I can't seem to replicate the problem anywhere else (and I don't have a Blackberry server to use either). So I'm hoping someone here can help me. Thanks.

    - Sorting Email Addresses in Address Book I use Outlook 2007. I want my contacts sorted by last name or -- if no last name -- business name. HOWEVER, I want my email addresses first name, last name so when I begin to type and email address to "John Smith" it comes out at "John Smith" and I don't have to remember to type "Smith, John" and I especially do not want it to appear in an email as "Smith, John." I have followed all sorts of instructions about changing the address book settings to first name, last name sorting and it does not have any impact on what I have. I change it and it still remaines "Last name, First name" . I have done this and restarted it and then done it again and restarted it. What am I missing?

    - Import my Contatcs from Palm to Outlook 2007 I exported my addresses from Palm Desktop to a .csv file in Excel. I tried one suggestion from online to insert a row a label each column from A-T, and save as in Comma Seperated (Windows). When I go into my Outlook to Import the .csv, it all loads into my contacts but only the first 3 columns? So all I get is First Name, Last Name & Company? Am I doing something wrong, I cant seem to get the addresses or phone numbers in there? I also tried doing a sample backwards, exporting from outlook to excel and then importing to Palm, and it all worked great everything was there.

    - Outlook driving me mad! Hi, I am trying to import my contacts from an Excel spreadsheet into Outlook. I feel like I have tried EVERYTHING! I have saved my data as both an excel spreadsheet and in CSV format. I have made sure the columns AND the range of data is identified. I check and check again to make sure my fields are mapped correctly. I have tried eliminating symbols that might interfere (even though I don't see why they would). Every time I do the import, all of the data is imported EXCEPT for the address.... it gets the name, city, state, phone etc etc but ALWAYS leaves out the address! Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it? If so, I would greatly appreciate some help. Thanks! JPorter Tag: contacts not adding up correctly..help Tag: 124627

When I create a new distribution list in outlook 07 it will not allow me to just copy and paste all the address from the sheet. I am guessing they have to be set up as contacts first?

    - How to intelligently and automatically merge duplicate contacts I imported 2500 old contacts and created about 90% duplicates. I'm using Office Outlook 2007 and I can't believe that there is no tool in this software to intelligently merge duplicates that have been created via the import tool. Does anyone out there know of a third party tool that will do this? It would be simple logic: If the contacts have the same modification date then delete one or the other. If they aren't identical, then ask the user which to keep or better, keep the conflicting fields from the newest record and delete the older content and merge the duplicate contacts into one contact record.

    - Activities Search List for Contact Folders in Exchange I have created a contact folder in Exchange and I am trying to setup the Activities search list for that folder. However, it will only allow me to select 1 folder, not multiple folders (like on a .pst) and it won't allow me to select the "search subfolders" option. When I click on other folders to search, it gives me a message stating that the Contacts folder only allows activities search in 1 folder. Basically, I want to be able to do an Activities search like in a .pst where I can select any number of folder for the Activities search to process. However, I am using an Exchange 2003 and Outlook 2007. Is this a known bug or do I have to create the Contacts folder on the Exchange differently? Thanx for any hints/replies.

    - Force Outlook to use only one contacts folder (2003) XP Pro, Outlook (Office) 2003 SP3 (SMTP / POP3 mail, no Exchange Server, LAN) I must not have something configured correctly, and I'm getting lost trying to find help in the knowledgebase so I'm turning to this group.

The new, network domain, login is now where I spend most of my time. This morning I discovered that Outlook is putting new addresses into the 'new' addressbook instead of the 'old' one which has all my contacts. What are my options? I really only need one contacts folder instead of two, but at this point I don't know 1) how to synchronize the two books or 2) how to tell Outlook to only use one of them. In fact, I was not even able to determine how to rename them so I can tell which one I'm looking at ... Outlook shows me two choices, both named "Contacts."

No information here. Your post should contain where Outlook "says 1143" and
how you counted your Contacts that is more accurate than Outlook's tally.
