    - Contact Categorizing limits Outlook 2007 I really find it strange to list a contact as color lt green "holiday". What is the point of having the ability to list a contact as red "must attend"? Can you have more categorizing of contact over the total of 25 colors listed? And what is the limit to the number of categorties you can have for a contact? Can you export your catigory list for other outlooks to import so that could be alot of work for multible locations. Tag: copy contact from contact list to folder Tag: 123245

    - Sharing Contacts sub-folders Not sure if this is the right group to post but I have this problem: Trying to share a Contacts folder under "Contacts", all permissions are set okay, but when the other user try to connect, it denies. We're running Exchange 2007 so these contact folders are on the server. If I share the root "Contacts", it works fine. Thanks for your assistance.

    - Outlook 2003 Contacts & Address Book I have had been using Outlook Express for many years and now have started using Outlook 2003 for just my business emails. I have 2 questions here. First, in the "folder list", why do I have 2 folders called "Personal Folders", both with the identical folders underneath? When I click on "contact" in either of these trees, it seems they are identical. When I click on the "Contact" button in my shortcut list, there are 2 items listed in "my contacts" favorites: One is called "Contacts" the other "Contacts in Personal Folders". I'm confused why this is duplicated. This may have something to do with the next problem. When I open a new email window and click "To:", I get the following error message: The address list could not be displayed. The Contacts folder associated with this address list could not be opened; it may have been moved or deleted, or you do not have permission...." (I am not working on a server, it is my personal computer and I have Windows XP Media Edition. ) However, if I click "ok", it brings up an empty Address Book and if I click on "Show Names from the:" I get a drop-down menu that allows me to choose from: Outlook Address Book, Contacts or again, Contacts! It is defaulted to one called Contacts so if I click on the other it then brings up the list of all my contacts correctly! I would appreciate any help, this is driving me crazy. I do have a different list of contacts in Outlook vs Outlook Express and I would like to keep my personal separate from my business. Thank you in advance for your help.

    - Outlook 2007 - Phone Number Display In Contacts We have an interesting outlook contact phone number display issue. We have programmed our Phone and Modem settings to include rules for phone number prefixes within our area code that require long distance information. (1+areacode) When adding a new contact everything displays great. For example.... 1 (999) 999-9999 Etc... Existing contacts before the rules however, still display as either (999) 999-9999 or worse 999-9999. Opening the contact and clicking the phone number button fixes it, but with some users having hundreds-thousands of contacts that is kind of an un-reasonable approach. All contacts are stored in Exchange as the back-end. Funny note: If you click the "dial" button, the number dials correctly even though the display is wrong. Is there a way to have the contacts DISPLAY properly without having the users edit each one? Will export, delete all, import work? What are the chances for data loss doing that? (Some users have information in a LOT of fields.) Thanks in advance for any help... D Tag: copy contact from contact list to folder Tag: 123234

    - Import from Excel to Outlook Having duly searched the "microsoft.public.outlook.contacts" archive I made minimally successful attempt to import an Excel format data base (.xlt) but only the "business street" field was imported all other fields were blank. I used Excel and Outlook both 2000. 1. First I named each column in the spread sheet with the exact default names used in Outlook. 2. Then ran the Outlook import wizard 3. Verified that the import fields were matched with the ones in Outlook 4. Ran the import process. After a long period of time the process finished with no reported errors (2000 contacts each with 30 fields). Where did all the data go. I have drilled on View settings but to no joy. I had previously tried this with a customize form and concluded I could not import into it successfully. I then uninstalled Outlook to clear any bad effects from the failed attempt and reinstalled Outlook. But the new installation still had evidence of the failed effort. So I do not know if this is what is preventing the successful importation. At the least I would like to know (short of formatting the HD) how to get a clean install of Outlook.

    - New PC - migrated Outlook 2003 settings to 2007 & now hosed - HELP I migrated my XP professional settings to Vista professional (I know I know!) and when I create an Outlook (Enterprised ed.) email, the To list is empty. Drop down Address Book list is empty. When I click Advanced Find I get modal dialog "The search cannot be completed. Tou must have an address list to search in. If you don't have an address list contact your Microsoft Exchange admin." I don't have Microsoft Exchange. Under Tools/Account Settings/Address Book I have Outlook Address Book MAPI but Remove is disabled. Under Contacts Folder under Properties, Outlook Address Book tab, the "Show this folder email address book" check box is disabled. I have uninstalled the product and reinstalled it - no luck. The registry has evil stuff. I tried renaming my C:\Users\...\outlook directory, uninstalled/reinstalled and then Outlook wouldn't run - again the evil registry entries "remembering" the wrong stuff. So now I'm at my wit's end. The only option I see is to reload windows from scratch to get a clean registry - unless someone can help me figure out how to activate the "show this folder" button.

    - Merge Public Contact with Personal Hi. I'll try to explain this as clearly as possible: We are using Exchange Server and Outlook 2003. We have a Public Contacts folder and every individual on the system has a personal contact folder. What my boss wants me to do is merge all of lists together. The hard part is, he wants the personal contact folder to automatically 'sync' with the Public Contacts Folder, so that our users won't have to browse as much to bring up the master contact list. Right now we're running into problems where everyone has a few contacts folders (I don't know how they're even doing this!) and adding names on their personal accounts so no one else can see them. I am not a system admin, I'm just the graphic designer, so I am pretty lost at all of this. Tag: copy contact from contact list to folder Tag: 123148

When taking items from one folder to another, drag with your RIGHT mouse
button. When you release at the destination folder you will have the choice
to Move or Copy. You want to Copy.
