I had read up on it before and I did make a backup of my old outlook but
where do I copy them to. I tried importing them, didn't work. I've got vista
and it won't allow me access to my Documents and settings. Where do I copy
the files to and from?

This is a known bug that we have reported and have posted here as often as
possible as a warning to others. You cannot use Windows Easy Transfer with
Outlook.
There is only one way you can transfer data from one installation of Outlook
to another: copy your Outlook data file, open it in your new Outlook
profile, then set it as your default and close the new data file Outlook
created.
At this point, you must create a new Outlook profile and use the above
method to transfer your data to it. Once you do, you will be able to
configure your Outlook Address Book.
Migrating data from one installation of Outlook to another has become so
difficult that few can escape the process without injury.

I used EZ file Transfer with a cable from an old desktop to my new laptop.
The (ToolsAcount SettingsAddress Book Tab is set to Outlook Address
Book)
when I try to add a folder it refers me back to the properties in my
contacts
folder to turn on the email address book but that option is not available.
Any suggestions??

Have you looked to see if the Outlook Address Book Service has been added
to
your profile (Tools Account Settings... Address Book Tab).

My contacts were transferred over from Outlook 2003. I can pull them up
as
individual contacts but I can't get them in the Address book in 2007.
I've
gone to properties and it won't allow me to turn on the address book
function. It is not available for my contacts. I tried sending my
contacts
to myself in Outlook form and then saving the contacts but that didn't
work
either. Does anyone have any suggestions?
