MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / June 2008Outlook 2007 PST issue???
I cannot get my contacts to show up in my address book. (I imported it over from 2003.) It is like I have a corrupted file. I have followed the helps menu by going to TOOLS. ACCOUNT SETTINGS. ADDRESS BOOK. I double click Address book but there is nothing there. I cannot add an address book and I cannot change anything. I go to contacts, right click, go to properties, and then Outlook Address Book, but I cannot check it as it is whited out. I have tried to the repair function and it still does not work. Can anyone help me? > I cannot get my contacts to show up in my address book. (I imported it over > from 2003.) > > It is like I have a corrupted file. Yep. If you'd read any of the MANY posts in all the Outlook groups you would have discovered that importing is NOT the way to transfer data from one Outlook to another. Create a new Outlook profile, then read these: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA010771141033.aspx more info here: http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm http://www.howto-outlook.com/Howto/backupandrestore.htm HTH thanks Gordon... But i am not as smart as you and the things i did, did not help. I made a new profile. I got rid of all old pst files. I set the new profile as default. I followed the instructions that the link said. I now have all my personal folders underneath the computer generated ones. But I still cannot get my contacts to show up in outlook. Instead of sending me to a link. Could you please give me step by step instructions on how to fix this for outlook 2007? I don't mind uninstalling and reinstalling. But I can't waste another day a work trying to figure this out. Sorry to be such a bother! TCB > > I cannot get my contacts to show up in my address book. (I imported it over > > from 2003.)

Here's how to check: Right click the Contacts folder. Properties, Outlook Adress Book tab, Show this as an Outlook address book needs to be ticked on. Is it? If not, tick it. If you cannot tick it because it is greyed out, you need to configure it. COme back for instructions or just read one of Russ Valentine's almost daily posts on how to do it - this is a very common problem.
