MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / May 2006Import contcacts problem (missing Contacts via To: Box)
Recently ~7700 contacts have been imported into a users empty contacts folder. This was fine however when creating a new email, selecting To:/Cc: etc and choosing the Contacts folder to see the long list of Contacts, some appear to be missing. The odd thing is that the Contacts are actually there as they are accessible via the main Contacts folder under the Outlook Today heading. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance! Outlook 2000 on Windows 2000. The address book shows only contacts with email addresses or fax numbers.

Strangely the affected contacts all have email addresses and most have fax numbers. > The address book shows only contacts with email addresses or fax numbers. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Thanks in advance! > > Outlook 2000 on Windows 2000. > Strangely the affected contacts all have email addresses and most > have fax numbers. Importing can have odd side effects and it should be avoided it at all possible. If you wanted contacts stored in an Excel spreadsheet, you don't have a choice, but to import, but if they're in an existing PST, import is unnecessary. SignatureBrian Tillman Thanks Brian. That may be possible in this situation. I'll try it on Monday and report back on how it goes. Thanks, David > > Strangely the affected contacts all have email addresses and most > > have fax numbers.
