MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / April 2007When trying to open the Activities Tab I get the following error..
"Outlook cannot display this view. A folder by this name already exists." I have tried the Repair function in Outlook and then I have completely uninstalled Office 2003 and then reinstalled it. I still am getting this error when I try to open the Activities Tab. Additionally, I have right clicked on Contacts and gone to the Activities Tab and I have reset every folder group. Yet the problem remains. > "Outlook cannot display this view. A folder by this name already exists."

I tried creating another group and tying it to the Archives, same result. I tried deleting the Archive Folder, same. I tried tying all the folders to the Calendar, then to Contacts, same result. After deleting the Archive Folder, I recreated it, same result. Nothing is working. > What about creating a new group? > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >> uninstalled Office 2003 and then reinstalled it.

You're not trying to use one group access folders in two different .pst stores, are you?

I just ran Detect & Repair again. No difference. I also deleted the Outlook Address book and made a new one. I also deleted my email profiles and recreated them. No difference. > Have you run Help | Detect and Repair? Tried a new mail profile? > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > >> >> uninstalled Office 2003 and then reinstalled it.

Uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't affect the existing mail profile. Try creating a new one, as Sue suggests. SignatureBrian Tillman Now that I've done that, I have a new Outlook.pst. When I try to import the old .pst into this, I now have 2 Personal Folders, how do I handle that? > > I had already run Detect & Repair and then I uninstalled Office 2003 > > and reinstalled it along with all the updates. > > Uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't affect the existing mail profile.

Create a new profile with the Mail applet in Control Panel. > When I try to > import the old .pst into this, I now have 2 Personal Folders, how do > I handle that? By trying to import you have damaged your mail profile. Never import from a PST. Now you'll have to create a new one and load only the PST you want. See if this helps: http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/newprofile.htm SignatureBrian Tillman This is information that I never understood until now. Thank you for sending me that link. > > Now that I've done that, I have a new Outlook.pst. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > See if this helps: > http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/newprofile.htm Never mind my last response about 2 Personal Folders. It just did that temp. while importing the data. Everything is fine now. Thank you. > > I had already run Detect & Repair and then I uninstalled Office 2003 > > and reinstalled it along with all the updates. > > Uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't affect the existing mail profile. Try > creating a new one, as Sue suggests. I have reset all the folders so they are at their default settings. Strangely, when I reset the Email Folder it defaults to Personal Folders instead of Inbox and Sent Items. So I have to change that by hand. > Have you run Help | Detect and Repair?
