I have a strange thing here. I have two legitimate installations of Outlook
2007, one on a desktop and one on a laptop. The laptop has all my contacts
on it.
I created a new data file, added a folder "Contacts" with Contact Items
set as the content type, and copied all my contacts into it. I then closed
Outlook, and copied the new pst file to a shared network drive. On the
desktop, I copied the pst file to the local HDD, opened Outlook, and did
File-Open Outlook Data File. There is NO contacts folder to be seen in the
opened pst file! Yet if I open the file on the other machine, there is the
folder. What am I doing wrong?



Solved this one - it doesn't show in the folder view, but it shows in the
Contacts view.
However, I have another problem - I've got an item under Contacts called
"contact" from one of the failed attempts at transferring, and I can't
delete it. It says the pst file is unavailable. I've probably deleted it.
How do I get rid of this item?
