I have recently installed Microsoft Outlook 2003 and used to run the older
version where I had all the addresses of my contacts. How do I get them to show up on the Outlook 2003. All that is showing right now are the email addresses. |

Explain what you mean.
Explain how you migrated your Outlook data. If you migrated your data correctly, you would see it all. You should just copy and reuse the same Outlook data file. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Terry" wrote in message ...

We had Office XP Pro on our computer and then installed Office 2003 Pro. I
didn't do anything except install the program. I didn't know I needed to do anything else to get the data from the old program. I "thought" everything would just transfer over seeing as they were the same program just a newer version. If I can still copy the Outlook Data file as you suggested, where do I find it?

If I can still copy the Outlook Data file as you suggested, where do I find it? It's probably still on your hard drive. You can either search (with the hidden files and folders option enabled) for it or start by looking in the folder where PSTs are created by default: %AppDat%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook. In Outlook, click FileOpenOutlook Data File and browse to that folder, select your old PST, and click OK. Then use the "Deliver new e-mail to the following location" drop down on ToolsE-mail AccountsNext to select that folder set as your default. Stop and restart Outlook. -- Brian Tillman |

Before you do all this, however, let's get a little clearer understanding of
the problem you are having. When you say, "All that is showing right now are the email addresses," what do you mean? In what view is the other data missing? In place upgrades rarely work as expected, but I've never seen them lose data. You would either see all of your old data or none of it, depending on whether the upgrade routine created a new data file or retained your old one. Your description so far does not permit us to tell what happened. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Brian Tillman" wrote in message ...
