Default Error 0x80070057

First, thank you for the help.

I tried to repair the .pst file with SCANPST. It was damaged but it didn’t
help. I still have the same error.
I create a new contact with the same information as the contact that didn’t
works… The new contact work fine… So the Problem as you say is the corrupted
contact!!

At work the contacts are on the exchange server.
What is the best way to “move” contacts?

Thank you

First, certainly agree with Russ that exporting contact info purely for the
purposes of moving info between 2 computers is definitely not the "optimum"
approach (particularly if exporting/importing to a PST file via Outlook's
import/export wizard and especially between 2 different versions of Outlook
but that's an "after the fact" statement. One thing we hate is dealing with
is contact info in a PST file created by Outlook's import/export wizard. The
few times we have had to because of reported problems - issues have arisen
more often then not and ultimate causes were found NOT to be related to our
import/export products which were accused as being the cause of the problems
encountered but rather the source PST file being used and/or issues with the
Outlook config itself.)

Assume that the error your encountering (0x80070057 =
MAPI_E_INVALID_PARAMETER) is for O'2007 and that everything otherwise
appears normal when reviewing the info for the contact (such as no
extraneous characters in the email field etc). A few things to ask/suggest:

#1 - If you create a new contact (a duplicate for the one that results in
the error when sending an email) - does the problem still exist? If no, then
likely cause is a corrupted copntact record in the PST file.
#2 - Run a ScanPST on your PST file to resolve any errors that may exist in
your PST file and see if the problem persists?
#3 - Repair your Outlook installation.

If all of that fails - copy your contacts again from your work machine by
copying a PST file containing your contacts. Either copy your current PST
file which will contain all email etc or create a new PST and new Contact
folder and MOVE contacts from original PST to new PST/Contact Folder - then
open new PST file in O'2007.

If you imported your data from a format other then a PST file, would be hard
pressed to believe that the Outlook import process itself was the cause.
More likely than not being some other pre-existing issue with your Outlook
config that simply got noticed/highlighted after any import/export.

Hi,
I have transferred (export/import) my contacts from the computer at work
(outlook 2003) to the computer at home (outlook 2007).
Now when I try to send message to certain contacts I receive this error
message:
! "Task - Sending" reported error (0x80070057): "Could not
complete the operation. One or more parameter values are not valid."
Can someone help me please?
Thank you
