Contacts folder slow to open
My Contacts folder takes over 4 minutes to open. It could be a result of a
ill-advised attempt to import an Excel spreadsheet of contacts that resulted in over 15,000 entries in Outlook Contacts (I apparently didn't map properly). I deleted all of them (very painful task) but there appears to be a residual effect. My Inbox, Calendar and other folders take less than a second to open. Are there any hidden files or temp folders or some other information that Contacts must still look through before it opens (15,000+ of them)? Thanks -- VPaul

What is the size of your Contacts Folder now?
Are you using Exchange Server or a local data store? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "VPaul" wrote in message ... My Contacts folder takes over 4 minutes to open.

Contacts folder slow to open
The size of the Contacts folder is 0kb. It says there are no items in the
folder when it eventually opens. I am on a single user PC. The files are stored on my C: drive. -- VPaul "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: What is the size of your Contacts Folder now?

Contacts folder slow to open
I didn't compact the PST files before, but I have now--and it still takes as
long to open. Plus, all other processes are afftected while it opens. The PC comes to a standstill. -- VPaul "Brian Tillman" wrote: VPaul wrote: Are there any hidden files or temp folders or some other information that Contacts must still look through before it opens (15,000+ of them)?

Contacts folder slow to open
More updates...
After it takes 4 minutes to open the Contacts folder the first time, it takes less than a second to open each subsequent time (switching back and forth between Inbox, Contacts, etc.). However, I arranged by Category and Company just to test what I saw posted in other messages, and when I tried to arrange by Address Cards, it took forever to complete the process. -- VPaul "Brian Tillman" wrote: VPaul wrote: Are there any hidden files or temp folders or some other information that Contacts must still look through before it opens (15,000+ of them)?

Try repairing your PST file with the Inbox Repair Tool.
