Ok. The story:
I export from Outlook 2003 a Contacts pst file of 611 contacts. I put this
on a memory card.
I then import the same pst file, no encryption, with sub folders, to Outlook
2007.
Then I try to search for an entry and it gives an indexing message -- not
compete. Right now it is still indexing, after 24 hours, 13254 items in
Contacts.
So what gives?

On your memory card?
Tell us the rest of the story. Why would a memory card be in play? It
shouldn't be.

Tried runnin scanpst.exe on the file on my memory card, then deleted the
Outlook 2007 entries and re-imported the "clean" file. It is still
re-indexing 13224 entries.

No. It's not normal. But it may be because you imported your Contacts. If
the reindexing does not finish, then try repairing your PST file and try
again.

I have Outlook 2003 at work and import my 611 contacts to my home
systems
using Outlook 2007. Is there a better way to do this? I'm waiting hours
for
the re-indexing to finish. Is this normal? Thanks.

Importing Outlook data is always a problem. You should never do it.
Why

you?
Have you waited until indexing has finished? Do that first. Only then
can
we
figure out what other problems you have unleashed by importing Outlook
data.

When trying a search in Outlook 2007, I get the yellow banner that
Outlook
is
still indexing my contact files. But no progress occurs.
I imported an Outlook 2003 pst contact file to Outlook 2007: could
that
be
causing the problem?
