What files? What procedure did you use to perform the "transfer"?
-- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "JSharpe" wrote in message ... I have a similar problem, however when I transfered my personal contact files to my new computer the files did not load into the e-mail address tool. How can you transfer the personal contacts to this tool without re-entering each contact seperately? |

I have Office 2000 and I transferred my contact files and e-mail from my old
PC that used Windows 98 and then tranferred the files onto my laptop that uses Xp home ed. as it's operating sytem. I used the XP connection/file transfer utlitity to perform this. The odd thing is that when I try to edit the old contacts a script line 41 error message comes up ,which can be cleared. Also at the header of the contact profile after the name there isw a hyphen and then "SBE" follows. What's up ? I have Office 2000 on the laptop. "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: What files?

Sue,
I am having the same problem with Outlook XP and OS XP Pro. I have imported contacts into the contacts folder the same way I have done on many computers. Imported a pst file or csv file. Both will come into the contacts directory but do not display in the address book. The option to show this folder as an Outlook Address Book is dimmed. I am not sure what to do. BTW your other answer helped and I found what was wrong with my dialog box fonts. Let me know if you need other info. sl826 "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: What "address book" are you referring to? Outlook's address book should be exposing your Outlook Contacts folder as an address list. If it isn't, tell us what you are seeing and in what version of Outlook. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "vern" wrote in message ...

Sue,
Disregard my last post. I found my address book file had vanished. I simply installed a new one and the problem was resolved. sc826 "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: What "address book" are you referring to?

Can you please explain to me why in the contacts file you can add a spouse
but not children, however if you pull up that contact in outlook address book, you can input children under personal. "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: There is no choice. Outlook Address Book contains only address lists built from your contacts folders, not individual entries. If you had 10 contacts folders that you wanted to see in the Outlook Address Book, it would have 10 different lists underneath it. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Wayne" wrote in message ... Then why have a choice? I have always wondered the same thing. What is the difference between the Outlook Address Book or Contacts? Those are my 2 questions. Thank you Wayne "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: That's exactly the way it's supposed to work. The Outlook Address Book contains no individual entries.

When I go up to the tool bar there is an icon that looks like an open book. When I click on it a page opens with the title "Address Book". If I go to the drop down menu on the right side "Show names from the:" I have two choices - Outlook Address Book or Contacts. When I open the Address Book there are no entries. If I open the Contacts there is all my data for email, phone #s, etc. |

Sorry, I am using Outlook 2000. I have also noticed that despite adding
childrens names in the address book they do not show up in the contact address card.

Don't add information in the address book. Open up the contact from your Contacts folder and add it there.

There isn't the facility to add it in contacts. This is mainly for personal
use, ie Friend, spouse, children and associated birthdays for this family. Am I asking too much here. "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Don't add information in the address book.
