Brian,
I deleted then recreated a new mail profile - and then attemped to delete
contacts and am still getting the same error message. I am using OL2003 at
this time and some of these contacts were imported from my ACT Database
several years ago. Is there something related to the import tool that is
cuasing this error? Are there any tools that can give me a work around. I
would even be happy to delete the entire contact file within OL and start
over - is this possible?
Thx,
Bob

I have performed the scanpst.exe program several times and it does
not find any errors. I have performed all the normal maintenance on
the hard drive to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated. I am working toward reformatting and
reinstalling but losing the .pst file will be a problem. I have a
TREO 650 with the calendar and contacts as back up but all emails
would be gone.

I'd try a new mail profile.
