Default How do I move my contacts into the address book?


All contacts show in CONTACTS but none show in the ADDRESS BOOK or when
you're in an e-mail and want to use c.c., b.c.c. I have tried what Mircosoft
suggests as a fix but it doesn't work.

You should provide information when you post. You provided none. What is it
you think Microsoft suggested that didn't work? Everything I've seen works
just fine, including this:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...Product=ol2002

Sorry for not being more specific, it is Office 2007 I am having problems
with. Yes the link you sent is what I tried previously (listed below).
- In the tools/account settings/address tab, it shows "Outlook Address Book"
MAPI....this cannot be deleted.
- In the file/folder/properties/outlookaddressbook , it does not let me tick
the box "show this folder as an e-mail address book"

I am not really sure what I need to do next.

Thank you for your assistance.

Outlook 2007 is still new, so it is still essentially a beta. Normally one
does not need to delete the address book service unless they corrupted their
profile in the first place. Did you? If so, you will need to create a new
profile.

I did not corupt the profile. It has not worked since i transfered, following
Mircrosofts instructions, my Outlook.pst file over from Office 2003 to 2007.
The deleteing i referred to was found in another discussion group. So I tried
to do it and it would not work.
I am looking for help to fix it, if you don't have any ideas, can you please
suggest who I can contact.
Thank you.

Unfortunately, your best approach with OL 2007 is to create a new mail
profile. It's not all that difficult.

Thanks,

What other help did you need? I told you what you had to do: create a new
profile.
http://support.microsoft.com/default...roduct=out2003
However, you had better be more clear on how you migrated your data so we
can figure out what you did wrong. Otherwise you'll corrupt this new profile
as well.

Thank you for your help Russ & Brian. I was able to get my address book
back......without corupting it as you say. By the way I originally followed
the instructions supplied with Windows Easy Transfer to move my .pst files
and all doucuments. I worked great other then the address book problem.

Dave

p.s. Russ you need to lighten up a bit...we all don't know as much as you do
about these programs.
