I have Transfered All my Contacts from my old lap top that had 2003 outlook
to my new computer that has outlook 2007. I am a bit lost . In 2003 I had My
Contacts set up under a recall .. Ie. 10 people Under Sepetember 2005 Flag.
How Do I set that up In 2007 outlook I have been playing with it for a few
days now and I can not figure it out. Any Help would be great.

Thanks

Any information would be great. You provided none. How did you transfer your
data? What do you mean by "set up under recall?"

Sorry for the confusion I used PcMover to transfer the outlook contacts to
the new 2007 outlook . Should I have done that or not. I have over 1700
Contacts and need them on my new computer with the 2007 outlook. What I had
under 2003 is kind of like this .. I would have 10 people with the address
under September 2005 another group of contacts I would have under a different
date.
Do I need to Start over From Scratch with all my contacts.
Thank you very Much

You should not have done that. There is only one way to transfer Outlook
data intact. You copy the Outlook data file from the old installation then
open it in the new installation (File > Open Outlook Data File...). At that
point you can either reuse it as the new default for the new profile, or
copy what you want from it to your new PST file.
Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:
