MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / March 2008Error Importing Contacts
This is the same problem others seem to be experiencing however I am not sure if it is the same solution. I have been trying to transfer my contacts from Outlook 2003 to a computer with Outlook from 2002. I created the .pst data file in 97-2002 format as previously described in another post. When I open the file in OL02 it will load the contacts. However, when OL is closed and later reopened, I experience the error that a program is trying to access my e-mail addresses. I am unable to click anything and shortly after OL will just close. If I go in and delete the .pst file I can then open OL successfully, but without my needed contacts. Any help with this situation would be greatly appreciated. I do not have Acrobat and I am guessing this is directly linked to me trying to load the contacts since OL opens just fine without the transported file. > This is the same problem others seem to be experiencing however I am not > sure [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > directly linked to me trying to load the contacts since OL opens just fine > without the transported file. You have copied the contacts from the new file to the existing one and then closed the new file? You copied only your 2003 contacts to the new older format pst? And if you open OL in offline mode how does it act? > This is the same problem others seem to be experiencing however I am not > sure [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > directly linked to me trying to load the contacts since OL opens just fine > without the transported file. yes, i copied only the contacts from OL2003 as that was all that i needed. when I try to open it in the older version of OL, it is ok the first time. But when I close OL and open it the next time, the error pops up about a program trying to access my email addresses and then OL will just close. The only way to get that message to not pop up is to delete the copied file that I just put on that computer with my contacts. > You copied only your 2003 contacts to the new older format pst? > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > directly linked to me trying to load the contacts since OL opens just fine > > without the transported file. > yes, i copied only the contacts from OL2003 as that was all that i needed. That's not what was asked. You need to copy the contacts from the new pst file that you created, to the EXISTING pst file that was created when you installed Outlook. Try opening OL with the nopollmail switch http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/commandlines.htm If it opens, then set it to offline mode, and see if any msgs are in the outbox > yes, i copied only the contacts from OL2003 as that was all that i needed. > when I try to open it in the older version of OL, it is ok the first time.
