    - Duplicated names appear when adding members to a DL Hi there, I try to create a DL on Outlook and select members from my Contacts. I see some names appear twice. One of them is with the e-mail type as Fax. Because the list is huge and I don't want to waste time to select the names one by one to skip the Fax type entries. However, there is no way to change the sorting order by e-mail type. Does anyone have a solution for that? Thanks a lot. Richard Poon Tag: How can I add a spouse's bday in contacts? Tag: 123390

    - missing distribution list I deleted one member of a distribution list and lost the whole list. Have read others' accounts of this, but can't seem to restore. The list does not show up in my deleted folder. I have backup .pst from a few days before. Start Outlook, go to file/open/outlook data file. Navigate to my backup file. Its modified date/time is right now (why?). Select anyway, a pause, screen looks the same, have today's email and no list. Either the backup didn't really open or somehow did another backup just now. Repeated process a little while later, same thing. Modified date/time is new, right now. Am I crazy? Tag: How can I add a spouse's bday in contacts? Tag: 123386

    - Instant Search not working and Outlook indexing never completes I attempt to search for a particular Contact entry.

I clicked OK on the message box and a highlighted message appeared across the top of the Contacts pane "Search results may be incomplete because items are still being indexed. Click here for more details." When I click on the message, another info box appears titled: "Outlook is currently indexing your items. Search results may be incomplete because items are still being indexed" , "xxxx items remaing in "Personal" folders" and "xxxx items remaining across all open mailboxes". The xxxx is a number that is always different each time I look at it (sometimes a large number, sometimes small), but never zero, and never trending in one direction or another...almost like the indexing process is in an unending loop that never comes to completion. When I click START, then CONTROL PANEL, then INDEXING OPTIONS, it says Indexing is not running. I have XP on my laptop, I'm running Outlook 2007. Help please.

    - Why no more (+) plus sign to expand distribution lists? All of a sudden Outlook 2007 is messing up. When I add a distribution list to an email, I can no longer expand it. the plus (+) sign has totally disappeared next to it.

    - Preventing Contacts removed from Outlook address book from I have removed many old contacts from my Outlook address book but they continue to pop up on auto-fill when I'm trying to type in a similar name even though they no longer appear in the address book. For example, I may have removed "Fred Smith" from my address book months ago and have not typed in his name since then. However, when I begin to type in "Fred Jones" for an e-mail address, "Fred Smith" automatically pops up as soon as I complete "Fred". This gets worse as time goes on since more and more older entries continue to appear when similar names or entered. WHERE DO THESE DELETED CONTACTS COME FROM IF THEY ARE NO LONGER IN MY ADDRESS BOOK AND HOW DO I PERMANENTLY GET RID OF THEM??

    - 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: How can I add a spouse's bday in contacts? Tag: 123234
