MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / October 2007Name in a Contact File does not appear in email address lookup

Help Hi Fritz, have a look on this site, it may help: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;287563&Product=ol2002 -- Oliver Vukovics Share Outlook without Exchange: Public ShareFolder Share your contacts, calendars or e-mails http://www.publicshareware.com >I entered all necessary info in a Contact File.

Contacts were imported and diplay properly but don't appear in the "Send to" popup when I create a new message. I reviewed and followed resolution in KB287563, but not completely. In the second item under Step 2, I cannot select (it's grayed out) the checkbox "Show this folder as an e-mail address book." Suggestions please.

Importing is never the correct way to transfer Outlook data. State what you did. We have no idea what you did wrong until you tell us.

[quoted text clipped - 22 lines] >> > contact does not appear. >> > Help Let me try again. Originally, I used a Belkin Easy Transfer Cable to move my email messages successfully from old to new. I can no longer recall if Contacts were then not visible on the new pc or if it was just that the Select Names box didn't show any email address data when I selected "To" at the start of a new message. Plan B to move Contacts from old to new pc, if I recall correctly, used the following steps in the old Outlook 2003: File Export to a file Chose Personal Folder File .pst file type Selected Personal Folders and include subfolders Saved as .pst file to memory stick Chose "replace dupes with items exported" In Outlook 2007 on the the new pc I then chose File Import from another program or file Personal Folder File .pst Browsed to .pst filename on memory stick Chose replace dupes with items imported Selected Contact as the Personal Folder to import from Selected Include subfolders Selected Import items into the same folder in Personal Folders The Contacts now reside on the new pc. However, when I start a new email and choose "To," the Select Names box shows no Contacts data. How do I fix that? In lieu of export/import, what is the correct technique to migrate Contacts from old to new pc and have them link with the Select Names box? SignatureJim > Non-sequitur.

You use them only to convert Outlook data to another file type. Your data is already in Outlook format. So you just copy your data file and open it in another installation (Hint: File > Open > Outlook Data File...). Then you can copy what you want from your old file into your current data file. There is no way to know where your problem lies now since you imported your data. If you're lucky, you may only need to enable your current Contacts Folder as an email address book in its properties, then make sure you are displaying that Contacts Folder in your Address Book view. If that doesn't work, then you'll need to go back and transfer your data correctly. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Let me try again.
