MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / May 2007Viewing contacts
My contacts have been imported, but I cannot view them in the folder. How did you import them and from what file type? In which view can you not see them?  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > My contacts have been imported, but I cannot view them in the folder. It's an excel file and I followed Microsoft directions for importing. Or so I thought. I just transfered files from one machine to another. I cannot see them in any view. It's a blank grid. Three new entries I entered are there. Know that you are dealing with a computer user who has learned everything by osmosis, no formal training. Thanks for the questions. > How did you import them and from what file type? > In which view can you not see them? > > My contacts have been imported, but I cannot view them in the folder. You need to post your Outlook version, Excel version and the exact steps you used. "I followed Microsoft directions" tells us nothing. Can you imagine how many "Microsoft directions" there are? We have no idea which you used nor how accurately you followed them. After that, someone familiar with importing from Excel can help you. Personally, I avoid doing so at all costs.

That begs the questions why you had your contacts in an Excel file and why you used an Excel file to transfer the contacts from one machine to another. SignatureBrian Tillman I have a similar problem. I am trying to coordinate contacts for 4 people in my office and make sure that everyone has updated and shared contacts. My problem is that one person uses Entourage. I thought that it would be easiest to fix the duplicates and give everyone the same contacts by exporting them from each computer into a single excel file, remove the duplicates and then import the contacts back into outlook and import them back into Entourage as a CSV file. But now there are contacts missing in both Outlook and Entourage. We all have Microsoft Office 2007 and run outlook through our parallels desktop.
