MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / December 2005Batch Change of email Addresses
I have several individuals in Contacts that work for a company that recently merged. Subsequently, their email addresses have all changed (e.g., from @mail.abccompany.net to just @abc.net). Will Outlook 2002 allow me to update all at once (if so, how) or do I have to make the changes manually, 1 by 1? Thanks for the help! mucrick > I have several individuals in Contacts that work for a company that > recently merged.

You can't make global changes like that from within Outlook, to the best of my knowledge. You can do it one-by-one or you can export those entries to a CSV, delete them from Outlook, make the changes with Excel and then import again.  SignatureBrian Tillman You can't make global changes on email addresses, except by exporting to a text file and using search and replace - but you can make global changes easily for fields like company name - basically anything that you can group on and wouldn't use a unique string with each contact. http://www.outlook-tips.net/archives/2003/20030714.htm SignatureDiane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Coauthor, OneNote 2003 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide) Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST@PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM >> I have several individuals in Contacts that work for a company that >> recently merged.
