MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / August 2006Address Book
For some obscure reason, all of a sudden, I am unable to open my address book in Office Outlook 2007 beta? This has happened quite a few times before and I now have to go to contacts in the drop down list pane on the left of Outlook 2007 and add them from there, whereas before, I could just hit the address book icon and add entries from there. I keep being told by Microsoft error reporting that it is a problem that will be fixed in an upcoming beta update but when? Not only do we have to pay to beta test for them (Microsoft) now but they wont be bothered to do an update until it actually goes public by which time we will all have to pay top dollar for the honour of using it anyway! It's a beta. Beta = problems, and often problems that won't be resolved until the final release. If you have a low tolerance for problems, beta testing software is probably not an activity that you'll enjoy. You might think twice next time before downloading beta software. We can try to help you find a workaround for the problem, but you haven't provided very many details for us to go on. Things that might be relevant would include: -- What are you clickiing to open your address book? What happens when you try to open your address book? Adding entries to Contacts has *always* been the correct way to create new entries. Adding them through the address book has caused many people confusing and outright problems and is never recommended.

I have a great tolerance for anything and everything (except warmongers)! However, I was only wondering if the problem was one of my own making or one that has affected a few! I beta test a lot of major programs thanks, but it's alway nice to know that maybe you can turn to someone for advice, instesd of them trying to tell me what I know already! > It's a beta.

There's no way to know without getting the kind of detailed information that I requested.

Hi again. I click the address book icon and it opens and when I click add contact from the menu, it always sends me to error reporting. However, now I know that the way I was doing it was wrong, I will change and add my contacts through the way you suggested. I thought that might have been the case but wasnt quite certain? Many thanks for your help. Regards Mike Rochester UK > > However, I was only wondering if the problem was one of my own making or one > > that has affected a few!
