    - Icons different in phone list I have Outlook 2002 and when I change the view to "phone list" some of the icone on the left show up as notes instead of contacts. The contact records are also unavailable when I hit the "To" button on emails and also on Efax (Efax shares my Outlook contacts) I did migrate my Outlook .pst file from an earlier version, so I may have done something wrong. These Contact records also sort out differently, with the ones I see with the note icon first and then the ones with the correct Contact icon next. Is there any cure for this? Btw, I am running Windows XP Pro. -- ==== To misplace one's housekeys is not a problem To forget what they are for.....Problem ==== Tag: mapi error X80040201 when trying to export contacts Tag: 124887

    - Distribution list not linking to contacts I am using Outlook 2003, and Windows Vista Home Premium. I just moved to a new computer, and copied the outlook.pst file from the old computer to the new computer. At one point when I opened Outlook I got the error message "The address list could not be displayed. The contacts folder associated with this address list could not be opened....." I followed the instructions at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319901. I am no longer getting the error message, but if I open a distribution list, and double click on a name from the list, instead of opening the contact, it just opens a window titled "E-Mail Properties", with display name, e-mail address, e-mail type, and internet format. If I delete a name from the list, then Select Members and re-add the name, the icon to the left of the name shows that it is now a "contact", and when I double click on the name it opens the contact information. The list still works to send e-mails to people, but I would like to fix this if possible. I would appreciate any help that anyone can provide.

    - Outlook 2007 - search SELECT NAMES or SEARCH ADDRESS BOOK RE: Outlook 2007 â?? Searching for an e-mail address is difficult because when I select "to","cc", or "bcc" the popup menu labeled "Select Names" only has 3 fields displayed: "Name", "Display Name", and "E-mail address". Additionally, when the "Search Address books" is selected, the same 3 fields are displayed. However, in the MS help menu for the Outlook 2007 Address book has a topic called "FIND NAMES IN THE ADDRESS BOOK ". The screen shot of the search window show that I'm supposed to be able to view other fields such as Title, Business Phone, Location, Company, etc. NOTE: as indicated above, I have only 3 fields listed Additionally a screen shot indicates OTHER lists should be available such as "Global Address List", an All Addresses List (All Contacts, All Groups, etc). Note: the drop down field does not show that I have any of the above lists. Things you should know before answering: 1. My â??Outlook Address Bookâ?? is listed under the menu Tools, Account Settings, Address book tab appears on the drop down list. However, when selected, there arenâ??t any names. However, when I select the name â??Contactsâ??, I can view the names listed under my â??Contactsâ??. 2. Referring to MS Help and Support Article ID 287563 named "Contact information does not appear in the address book in Outlook" LINK: << http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;287563&Product=ol2002 >> . Under â??Step 2: Mark your contact folder for use with your address bookâ??, the following is stated: "On the File menu, point to Folder, and then click Properties for your folder name (mine is called â??Personal Foldersâ??) On the Outlook Address Book tab, click to select the Show this folder as an e-mail address book check box, type a descriptive name, and then click OK." NOTE: I do not have a tab or a folder named "Outlook Address Book" on the folder tree. 3. The MS Help topic "FIND NAMES IN THE ADDRESS BOOK" indicates there should be more than one address list, such as a "Global Address List", an All Addresses List (All Contacts, All Groups, etc). NOTE: I do NOT have more than one address list. Thanks for your help, -- TubbyLady Tag: mapi error X80040201 when trying to export contacts Tag: 124833

    - Unable to add to local contacts from global address I saw the same error. In my case, the solution was to open the Address Book, select "Tools > Options...", and then to remove the Global Address List from the listbox with the description: "When sending mail, check names using these address lists in the following order:" I think copy operation was failing because the Address Book was attempting to copy the contact from Global Address List back into Global Address List. But removing the Global Address List from the listbox seems to avoid this conflict. Good luck! Tag: mapi error X80040201 when trying to export contacts Tag: 124816

I have their email addresses saved in their contact information, so is there a way to easily show all messages from that particular contact? While we're at it: is there a way to add more than 3 email addresses to a contact? Some of the people I correspond with overseas use up to 8 addresses (crazy foreigners). Thanks!

    - How do I set up contacts so that overseas calls have a 011 prefix? Everything in contacts with country codes and city codes works fine, but the only thing I cannot figure out how to do is show that any call that is not to the USA or Canada requires the prefix "+011" instead of the usual "+1". For instance, if I select "Chile" as the country, it selects the proper country code and prompts me for the city code, but there is no way to select 011 as the necessary code to start an overseas call. If I select "USA" as the country (I live in Canada), it knows enough to put "+1" as the prefix. Tag: mapi error X80040201 when trying to export contacts Tag: 124771

    - Business Card Name Order Outlook 2007 I have recently upgraded to Outlook 2007 and in the process moved all of my contacts from a pst file back into the contact list that lives in with my exchange mail box, during this process the way names are being displayed on business cards has changed and I cannot get it back to the way I would like.... At this point all of the settings I can find are set to first name last name, both the full name and file as options, the problem is that on the business card view it is showing last name first name with no comma, and even though it is being filed correctly in the list alphabetically it looks out of place because the full name is now showing the actual last name first... This is confusing to look at much less try to explain, let me see if I can try to show everyone what I am seeing. If I open the contact and click on the full name button I see First: John Last: Doe then I click ok and now in the full name line and the business card view I see Doe John, if I go directly into the business card and edit it there and make it display correctly and then go back to look at the full name it will have reversed the names, I know I am probably missing a setting somewhere but its becoming an exercise in insanity at this point I seem to be checking all the same places over and over. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tag: mapi error X80040201 when trying to export contacts Tag: 124762

    - Auto Complete Inconsistency Hi all, One of my clients has an SBS 2003 R2 network. All PC's have no problem, except the bosses (typical!). He has a laptop at the office (XP Pro, SP2) and uses a PC at his home (Vista, no SP) to connect to their Exchange 2003 server (PC at home uses RPC over HTTP). Both laptop and home PC have Outlook 2007 installed. For some time now, the auto complete feature is proving to be inconsistent, ie, one minute you can start typing a contact name and a list of possible entries is displayed, the next minute, typing the same name or anything else doesn't offer any contact suggestions at all. Both installations have Office 2007 SP1 installed. Anyone have any ideas on how I can get round this ? Many thanks in advance. Regards Colin.

#1 - Questions should be posted in "white space" area complete with all
details

#2 - helpful info that should have been initially provided:
a) Outlook version
b) what exactly were you exporting (contact folder from PST file or
Exch? just for info's sake, does folder use a custom form?)
c) is this a contact folder used in a "sync"?
d) is this a contact folder that has been imported? if yes, from
what - another PST file?
e) were any contacts exported at all?
f) are you using any addins that may be of interest?

#3 - Error 0x80040201 = Invalid EntryID - not going to speculate on possible
causes since no other info was provided
