    - Professional Designations Can anyone tell me if I can include a professional designation or multiple designations, e.g., M.D., with a contact name and have other fields populate properly? If I enter "John Smith, M.D." as the full name, then the 'File as" field displays by first name rather than last name, and the e-mail "Display as" field shows "M.D. John Smith," which makes it next to impossible to find the name when I am creating a new e-mail. If I omit the comma (for a single designation), the "Display as" field still does not file by last name but by first name. Also, entering multiple designations and using a comma to separate them does not work properly either. Any suggestions? Tag: How to import contacts from outlook 2000 to outlook 2007? Tag: 127086

    - How do I select contacts from a shared contact list The following was recommended for users to access a shared contact list I really recommend you set up a public contacts folder for all your company's *business* contacts, and leave the individual mailbox contacts for personal contacts only. You can control access to the Public Folder pretty granularly to prevent unwanted modification, etc. All users can use the PF as an Outlook address book if they right-click on it, go to properties, Outlook Address Book tab, and tick the box. HOWEVER, the process for setting up a public address book was not addressed. Please advise how this is done Tag: How to import contacts from outlook 2000 to outlook 2007? Tag: 127085

    - Form Design for Contact First Page Is there a training class (not online) that anyone knows of to learn how to do Forms in Outlook 2007. All I want to do is change the first page of the Contacts Form so that the notes are on the bottom, as they were before 2003. I also want all my new Contacts and all my existing Contacts to change to the new format (with Notes on the bottom, not on the side). That narrow area of Notes on the side of the page is driving me absolutely CRAZY! I have checked these newsgroups and have seen a lot of people asking about how to make form changes. The answers are in dribs and drabs, and NOT very detailed. I am not a programmer. However, I can follow directions if they are spelled out in DETAIL. For example, if you say Publish the Form, you have to give the steps of where, when and how to Publish a Form. Like I said, I can follow step by step directions very easily, as long as all the steps are there. All I have to do is see the info in DETAIL once, and I will understand how to do the process. But I want a complete process in one place. Some of the steps online are a little confusing because they have links that send me all over the place, and I usually lose where I started. It is way too confusing. Is there someone or someplace that I can easily learn the steps to change the first page of the Contact Form so that the Notes section is on the bottom of the form, and not on the side? I need to Publish it so that all my new and existing contacts automatically use the new format. Thanks! Tag: How to import contacts from outlook 2000 to outlook 2007? Tag: 127074

    - Recover contacts from corrupt pst file I'm in a bit of a crisis. After upgrading to Vista x64, I'm attempting to import my old .pst file into Outlook 2007. I'm told that the .pst is corrupt and that I should run scanpst.exe to repair it. I found scanpst.exe and ran it, and I get an error message "An error occurred which caused the scan to be stopped. No changes have been made to the scanned file." This happens for both my regular and backup .pst files. I've scanned the pst files with the demo versions of commercial data recovery products, and the data are there. But I'd rather not pay $250 to recover my address book. This is my only copy of it, please help! Tag: How to import contacts from outlook 2000 to outlook 2007? Tag: 127057

    - Usefulness of shared contacts I have a setup where we want to keep a corporate contact list available to all users (but maintained centrally - users only need read access). So we have a specific account that "owns" the global contact list, and have shared that user's contact list. Other users can successfully see and access this shared list in Outlook 2003 by going to Other Contacts, clicking on the "master" user's name, and their contacts are then displayed. From here it's possible to right- click and choose "new message", "new appointment", "new meeting" and "new task" - so far, so good, and exactly what we need. However, suppose our user wants to send an email to TWO of the shared contacts; they can start as above by choosing "new message", but if they now click "Cc..." to add another of the shared contacts, they can't find them. They don't appear in the "Global Address List", nor under "Contacts", nor "All address lists", nor "Public folders". Even if they type in a valid name for one of the contacts directly into the CC box, it won't validate and expand to the email address from the master contact list. The way it is at present, sharing contacts is at best very long winded (involving cutting and pasting of email addresses) and at worst useless. Is this really so, or am I missing some step in the setup of the master list? Thanks, Derek TP Tag: How to import contacts from outlook 2000 to outlook 2007? Tag: 127027

    - Birthday / Anniversary Contacts to Calendar Hi All, I understand that when I place a birthday or anniversary in a contact then Outlook should place that same birthday or anniversary in the calendar. I can't seem to make this work. I understand there is sometimes a problem with imported .pst files. I've created new contacts and it still doesn't work. I have changed some of the categories (initially combined Birthday and Anniversary) which I've subsequently changed back. Does anybody have any bright ideas? Regards, Paul.

    - Outlook 2003: Show this folder as an email Address Book" option unavailable Hi! I have my old work laptop which I now use solely for personal use. My registry was corrupt so I deleted it. I've reinstalled Office with the install files on the hard drive. The problem I'm having now, I can't use the Outlook Contacts in outbound emails. I can only use my PST Contacts. I can add new contacts to the Outlook Contacts, but can't see them in the new outbound emails. Right-clicking on the Contacts folder icon and selecting "Properties", selecting the "Oulook Address Book" tab, the checkbox for "Show this folder as an email Address Book" is greyed out. I went into Control Panel, Mail, and deleted the profile and created a new one. Nothing changed. Thanks for your help. Bill Tag: How to import contacts from outlook 2000 to outlook 2007? Tag: 127010

    - Outlook Address Book Won't Show Contacts I have thoroughly reviewed, and tried, the various suggestions posted here, and elsewhere in the Windows Community, for solving this problem. Nothing has worked so far. On a new machine, using VISTA and Outlook 2007, I used Windows Easy Transfer to copy files from Windows XP & Outlook 2007. The new Outlook Address Book (OAB) does not recognize the contacts information in the .pst file. On the first try at transfer, the mail, tasks, and calendar info copied successfully, and worked fine, but the Contacts info did not display. Based on advice elsewhere on this forum, I concluded that the Contacts file was probably in the wrong format, from being copied over from prior versions of Office. I changed that as instructed, prepared a temporary .pst file, copied that to the new machine, then cust & pasted that data from the temp .pst Contacts display into the default .pst Contacts display. That process brought all of my contacts into Outlook 2007 and in that location, the contact data is all useable. (For example, from any contact card, I can create a new mail message and the email address opens in a new message box.) But, I still cannot open a new message and select an address from the OAB. It is blank. In Mail > File > Data File Management > Address Books Tab, the OAB is displayed. However, it does not list itself when Change is clicked. In Contacts > Properties > OAB tab, the "Show this folder as an OAB" is grayed out. Research here took me to this page: Contacts are not available in the Address Book http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/contactsinaddressbook.htm This page accurately describes the problem, and ends with the advice to "recreate your mail profile," because the OAB service is corrupted. That leads to these instructions: Adding/Recreating a Mail Profile http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/newprofile.htm I created a new mail profile, but the problem remains identical. So I am at a deadend. --vicmike 7/24/08 Tag: How to import contacts from outlook 2000 to outlook 2007? Tag: 126969

    - Outlook 2007 SP1 creating contact(s) automatically I've read numerous posts that say Outlook does not and cannot automatically create a contact. However, it IS happening. Every day, there are a few contacts added to my contacts folder that I did not specifically add. The only common denominator is that I received an e-mail from these folks. It's not even someone I necessarily replied to either. I've looked through every option window available, for e-mail and contacts, and cannot find any type of setting that's causing senders to be automatically added to contacts. Please do not respond with "Outlook does not do this or cannot do this" because it's happening. I have no add-in software. Again, I cannot find a common criteria for which these contacts are automatically created. The only contact info is their server e-mail address.

You most certainly would never use import. You would follow the instructions
we post here every day. Sorry you couldn't find them. Must we repost again
just for you?
The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:
