MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / November 2007Countacts that show as untitled
I have 4000 contacts and recently the majority of them are no longer found when looked for in the address book or by doing the shortcut F11. They are only to be found if I go to contacts and search. It appears that the contacts that cannot be found are showing as 'untitled' when I open that contact from contacts. How do I correct as it will also not look up email addresses and auto fill the address for the 'untitled' contacts. Some information that might permit an answer: 1. Outlook version 2. Information store 3. Changes made to the Outlook profile immediately before "recently." 4. In what view you see the word "Untitled," how that view is configured, and what field shows as "Untitled" 5. Whether you have tried to examine and repair the Outlook Address Book configuration.

Here is the info: 1) Outlook 2003 SP#3 2) Exchange 2000. SP2 or 3 3) I actually had to replace the contact database with the contacts from my Mac Entourage that syncs with the same server. 4) The word untitled shows at the top of the individual contact window that opens when I select a found contact and it opens. 5) I did a detect and repair from the help menu. Strange enough, I log into the same exchange server via terminal services that has outlook 2002 SP# on it and I dod not have the same problem. Thanks.

What a lot of information you left for us to guess. What an amazing amount you have still left out. So you "had to replace" the Contacts data in your Exchange mailbox with data from your Mac? How and why you did that are clearly the source of your problem. Any reason you have not asked your Exchange administrator(s) instead of us? They need to have first crack at this and need to know what you are doing to your Exchange mailbox. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Thanks for the reply.

The problem started after I checked the 'sync services' to enable Entourage to sync with the Mac 'Address book'. It synced fine and then for some reason as subsequent sync cleared all the contacts from the exchange server. I restored by simply copying a back up of the contacts to the Entourage address book and then re-syncing. The contacts then went to the exchange server. > Wow.

I should think your Exchange administrator could restore your mailbox. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > My exchange administrator has no idea.

That would require programming unless you can figure out how you corrupted this field in the first place and go back and correct the error.
