Hi there,
I'm on a laptop right now using Outlook 2003 with a whole big bunch of contacts on it. For some reason, all the information for each individual contact is fine EXCEPT for the physical address (be it business, home, whatever.) There's no info there for the address at all (no warnings or errors when I go there, either). I can enter an address in okay, and it seems to stick, but I'm not sure what happened to all the ones that were there before. Trying to run scanpst now to see if that makes any difference (although I doubt it) and wondering what else I could possibly check. Thanks. Adam Senour http://www.searchenginefriendlylayouts.com/ |

What device have you been synching with? What relationship have you set
between them? Is the PDA overwriting the Contacts folder and hence there's no Address data anymore? I hope this helps you at least a little bit!

The following would seem to be relevant information:
1. "I'm on a laptop right now." Why is that important? Were you not on a laptop before? If not, how did you migrate your data to the laptop you are now using? 2. What are the steps that were used to lose access to your mail addresses? 3. What mail transport and information store are you using? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "SEFL" wrote in message oups.com...

Hi Russ,

If not, how did you migrate your data to the laptop you are now using? It's only important because it's not my laptop (and because I hate laptops in general). I'm just trying to figure it out for someone else. 2. What are the steps that were used to lose access to your mail addresses? According to the owner of the laptop, "I just opened Outlook and they were gone." 3. What mail transport and information store are you using? PST file. SMTP/POP3 (one email account.) No PDAs, no Blackberries, no other weird devices hooked up at the time or synchronizing at the time that it happened (or at any point, for that matter.) ScanPST revealed errors, but fixing the errors didn't solve the problem. Thanks. |

Not much to go on here. I doubt these addresses just disappeared all on
their own. It's certainly not a known issue. There must be more to this story. Time to restore from backup. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "SEFL" wrote in message ups.com...

I do as well, but I'm not getting the answers that would at least allow me to piece something together. If they had a backup, they could restore from it. But, because it's just one laptop sitting by itself...guess they'll just have to retype them. Thanks. |
