Reinstalling Office 2003
Followup...
I did manage to move my contacts from OE6 to Outlook, by selecting "all" in
OE and dragging them over to Outlook's contacts folder.
Still trying to find a fix for the Import/ Export wizzard though.

Much obliged Ernie.
Maybe someone can find a fix for this.

Correct--I get an error message when I click on File/ Import-Export.
I didn't do a complete removal of Office--I just used the wizard in
Add-Remove programs to make installation adjustments with a few Office
apps
(Including Outlook).
I am wondering if a complete reinstall of the whole Office program is
in
order.

Just to be absolutely clear, the Import/Export Wizard does not
appear,
but
the error message box does, when you click Import/Export on the File
menu?
I assume, from your subject line, that you have done a complete
reinstall of
Office 2003. I am out of ideas, but you *might* get an answer from a
search
of the MS Knowledge Base rather than Goggle.
Good luck,

Hi Ernie,
I guess I need to start from the beginning.
I installed Office 2003 about 2 to 3 months ago, but my system
resources
could not quite handle Outlook, so I uninstalled it for the time
being,
until
I could get more ram. But before I uninstalled it, I had imported
my
contacts from OE6 (.csv format--This was stored on a USB drive)
into
Outlook.
After deciding to uninstall Outlook, I decided to delete the .pst
(?)
folder
that had been created, and thus deleting my contacts with it.
Finally, after installing more ram this week, I reinstalled
Outlook.
But
now
I when I click on "File" / "Import and Export"--I get the error
message.
I've tried a repair install a couple of times, but it has been of
no
help.

When does the error message arise during the Import/Export
process?
Give
more detail, have you exported the Windows Address Book (that is
part of
OE6)? What format did you choose?

Correction, I can add contacts to Outlook's address book.It's
just
that I
cannot import them from Outlook Express 6. In fact, I cannot
use
the
Import
and Export wizard at all in Outlook 2003.
It keeps giving me the same old error message -"Internal
Translation
System
Error".
I have tried Google, Dog pile, etc, and cannot find anything
related
to
this
error message.
I'm paving new ground here I reckon. : -(

I will have to research your answer, since I'm fairly new
to
Outlook.
The first time I installed Outlook, I was able to import my
address
book
from OE6...Why the error now?

To what and from what do you wish to export?
Nor can I add contacts to the address book.
You don't add contacts to the address book. You add them
to
a
Contacts
folder. The address book contains no information.
