MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / November 2007Address Book
Outlook 2003 - using Windows XP I was trying to copy my contacts from one computer to another. The contacts appear in CONTACTS section of the outlook in the new computer but when I start my email, I normally used to tick on the Address book to pick up the email addresses. Now in the new computer that no longer happens. When I click on the icon for address book, it shows two - Outlook Address Book (says no entries in this book) and the other one Personal Address Book (empty). Advice how to correct the situation would be appreciated. Thanks You have left out a lot of details of your story. Outlook 2003 has never used a Personal Address Book. Why and how did a PAB get in your profile? How did you "copy your contacts?" Have you enabled your Contacts Folder as an email address book in its properties so it would appear in the address book view? Read the basics: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;287563&Product=ol2002  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Outlook 2003 - using Windows XP > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Advice how to correct the situation would be appreciated. Thanks I really do not know how the PAB got into the profile. I did a copy and paste from the old computer to a flash drive. I am sorry, how do you enable the Contacts Folder as an email address book? Jaffer > You have left out a lot of details of your story. Outlook 2003 has never > used a Personal Address Book.

Thanks Did you read the instructions I so carefully posted? If so, what do you not understand? You cannot copy and paste Contacts using storage medium because they do not exist separately from an Outlook data file. So we still have no idea what you did.

Thanks The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Thanks I read and tried the instructions re RESOLUTION to Install the Outlook Address Book Step # 4 shows Outlook Adress Book as well as Personal Address Book but how do I find out if those are mine? When I go to mark my contact folder for use with my address book (STEP 2), there is only Prperties for Outlook Today no Prperties for my folder name. ????
