MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / March 2006Lost Outlook contact details
Hello all, For some reason Outlook has decided its pst file is corrupt and must be repaired. I ran ScanPST on it and managed to resurrect the file. However, some information is missing. Specifically, some information in contact details and sent items for the last five days. The Sent Items problem is annoying but can be ignored for the moment. However, I need some recommendations for solving the contacts problem. The contact details, including the name, address, email address and telephone for each person appear on the contact screen. However, when I click on a particular person it only displays their forename and surname. Can anyone recommend a script or software that will repopulate the address field? For anyone who is interested, the machine is running Windows XP and Outlook 2000 SR-1. I'm uncertain what caused the data corruption in the first place. Neither Outlook or the machine has crashed recently and there are no problems with the hard disk. Thanks Could you tell us, please, exactly what you mean by "contact screen" and "click on a ... person"?

Also apologies for a double post. Google reported an error when sending the first message. By contact screen I'm referring to the list of contacts accessible via the Contacts button on the left, below Calendar. This will display a long list of contacts. For example, you may have a contact for "Mosher, Sue". By double-clicking on the name, a second screen appears with further details (Full name, job title, Business telephone, address, etc.). The screen also contains various tab options - General, Details, Activities, Certificates, All Fields. Does that make sense? I've never encountered a similar case, I'm afraid. What happens if you create a new contact? Is all of its information visible.

However, that would be a time consuming exercise, given the number of contacts.
