Contacts into Address Book - Outlook 2002
Sue, all is much better but another problem has occured... When I try to organize by clicking on the button, I get an error message and I can not enter a rule. If I use the the rules wizard, that works but if I use organize without the wizard, no go... Any ideas, maybe this file is corrupted to? I am asking a similar question to Dave because both of you replied to me, OK

I don't know if Sue Mosher's suggestion or Chuck Davis's suggestion solved the problem but when I closed outlook and re-opened it a few minutes later, everything worked... address book, To: in an email and all is well,,, Thanks, Joe "Woodchuck" wrote: Hi Sue, thanks for the reply... I did the following: Choose Tools | Email Accounts View or change existing directories or address books and the message "Address list could not be displayed..." pops up as before and when the I clicked on OK, an Address Book popup comes up and under Show Names From... there were four listings ie. Outlook Address Book and Contacts three times. From previous attempts, I knew that there was nothing in the first two listings so I deleted the first and second Contacts but when I tried you suggestion again, this time only Outlook Address Book was listed... Still no address book and I also posted a reply to Chuck Davis's reponse that you might find interesting...

Hi... I have gone from Windows 2000/Outlook 2000 to another machine with Windows XP/Outlook 2002. After many tries to import my contacts by backing up files to CD's and copying them to the new HD, I found out about the hidden files, access rights, etc. and finally was able to get my emails into Outllook 2002 but I cannot access the Address book. Outlook.pst is the file name copied over but I am at a total loss as to what to from here. Nothing I read seems to help as there is some link between outlook.pst, personal folders.pst and contacts but I cannot find an adequate explanation to help me. HELP HELP I can't enter new contacts either and I sure don't want to lose my emails... Any ideas??? |

Contacts into Address Book - Outlook 2002
I'd suggest that you start a new discussion topic in the
microsoft.public.outlook.general group about your rule problem and include the exact text of the error message. Don't forget to mention your version of Outlook, too. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Woodchuck" wrote in message ...

Thank you very much Woodchuck, I did the Export/Import and worked fine. Woodchuck wrote: *Thanks Chuck but no go yet... I did the following: File/Import & Export/Export to a file/Create - Tab Separated Values (Windows)/Export from/Personal Folders/Contacts and it did its thing into another directory. I then File/Import & Export/Import from another file/Import - Tab Separated Values (Windows)/Import into: Outlook Today/Contacts and it did its thing but no change. Emails are still in place but the popup "Address list could not be displayed..." comes up just like before... no change.
