MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / March 2008activites tab
I moved all my contacts from a subfolder to the main contacts folder. Now when I click on the activities tab I get the following message: "Outlook cannot display this view. You need to reset your folder group. Right-click on the folder, click Properties, and then on the Activities tab click the Reset button. The operation cannot be performed because the object has been deleted." I followed the directions but I still get the same error message. How do I fix this? Outlook 2003 Pro Sounds like there's more to this story. How did you move these Contacts? How are you resetting the Activities?

Why did you need to move these Contacts? Have you tried any of the routine maintenance procedures like repairing your data file, resetting your views, or creating a new profile?

After I finished with them I came across this problem but I was able to fix it in the subfolder. I have no idea how I fixed it I did so many things. I created a new profile with the .pst file I copied before I moved it and had the same problem. I have been hesitate to try other procedures because I don't want to do any permanent damage to the data file. > There's still something missing here. Why did you need to move these > Contacts?

You never import and export Outlook data unless you want to lose or corrupt it. Did you back up your data file before you started following this misguided advice? Did you even try to repair the file?

Repair the file. Detect and Repair won't do that. Use the Inbox Repair Tool. SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] >I copied the .pst file that was working when it was in the subfolder.

Now you understand why we post daily in no uncertain terms that you do not export or import Outlook data. So I assume you do not back up your data? That would be a good habit to acquire. You can try creating a new profile. If that doesn't work, create a new PST file and copy what you need from your old into the new. No matter what you do, your activities are toast, but you will at least have folders you can reset again.
