MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / November 2005error message when Outlook opens
I have just imported my contacts to my new PC running Outlook 2003. Every time Outlook opens it comes up with the following error message: 'The path specified for the file F:/contacts.backup.pst is not valid'. F:/contacts etc etc was the disk I used to transfer in my contacts from my other machine. Obviously Outlook is looking for this file but can't find it - unsurprisingly as it was a file on a USB drive. As my contacts have trasnsferred in beautifully, how can I remove the annoying error message? Thanks for your help. Martin Does that set of folders show on your folder tree? If so, try right clicking on it and choosing Close >I have just imported my contacts to my new PC running Outlook 2003.

Closing the backups folder was the first thing I tried - should have guessed it was too obvious! I still get the error message. Martin > Does that set of folders show on your folder tree?

Time for a new one. http://www.howto-outlook.com/Faq/newprofile.htm  SignatureBrian Tillman |
