MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / August 2004Contacts driving me mad
I have a user here who is still running NT, she has Office 2000 installed and in her contacts area has many groups setup. Thing is every day when the opens outlook she has to re-import her .pst file contacts to be able to use them, when she closes down at night they go. Same the next day, re-import her .pst. Any idea's of how i can get the system to accept them and stay there? Thanks Alan  SignatureSP1 for Fun, Jaguar for Comfort. BOTAFOT #148 What symptoms make her feel that it's necessary to import her contacts?

Ok i will repeat it, she has setup quite a few mailists (if thats what they are called) and when she sends a report to one of the lists which can have say up to 30 email addresses it works fine. BUT, when she closes down Outlook and comes back in the next day the lists are not there, so she has to re-import a .pst file's contacts and hey presto they are back and she can email the groups. Close down, gone, open up outlook gone, re-import and back they come, close down gone, open up outlook gone, re-import and back they come. Now do you see wht its annoying her? If you can solve this then you will have one happy girl in Oxford UK Alan > > I have a user here who is still running NT, she has Office 2000 installed > > and in her contacts area has many groups setup.

The first in the correct procedure. Distribution lists. Any idea how to solve the problem? Alan Sorry, but your latest message doesn't include a description of the problem. Please remember to quote the relevant portions of earlier messages in the thread.

So are the distribution lists themselves disappearing from the Contacts folder? (It might be worthwhile to use Advanced Find to double-check.) Or are they still there, but the membership in the DL is blank? Or are they in the Contacts folder but not appearing in the address book when she clicks To? Also, check Help | About to see whether she's using OL2000 in Corporate/Workgroup or Internet Mail Only mode.
