MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / April 2007Contacts sub directories
Outlook 2000. I have had to rebuild my sytem due to a hard disk failure. I have imported my backed op pst files and have all my contacts (several hundred), most of which are in sub-directories. When I click the 'to' to search my contacts, I get the main directory but when I click the main directory to get a drop down of the sub-directories - nothing. I do not recall having to set aything previously but I have tried looking a folder group activities without success. Can anyone help me.  Signaturejemimapd Right click on each of the sub-folders and ensure they are marked as Outlook Address books.

Can anyone help me. This is caused by importing your .pst file, which is never the method to restore Outlook data.

For future reference, please explain how I should have backed up and restored my data. I back up regularly but this is the first time I have needed to restore. I was restoring to a completely blank outlook because all my software had to be re-installed.

Exactly how depends on whether you've configure Outlook 2000 in Internet Mail Only mode or Corporate/Workgroup mode. SignatureBrian Tillman |
