Hard to say. We have no idea what you did. You description tells us nothing.

What are your versions? How many OE Identities on your partition? When you
examine the root Contacts Folder of the Main Identity in OE what do you see? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Lane" wrote in message ...

questions - as far as I know I have only one identiy in OE - I think? When I look at my main identites in OE, I see a list of addresses - is that what you mean?

Help - can't get contacts from OE to Outlook
You should see a list of Contacts, not addresses. Outlook's import Wizard
will only import the root Contacts Folder from the Main Identity. It will not import subfolders. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Lane" wrote in message ...

Help - can't get contacts from OE to Outlook
Thanks for bearing with me here. I'm looking in the Address Bood - Main Identity . There is a folder "Shared Contacts" and "Main Identiy Contacts" - in the latter are my contacts. I am thinking, maybe, that Outlook is importing them OK, or it appears so, but maybe they're going in the wrong place or Outlook is set to a different contacts folder or something?

Help - can't get contacts from OE to Outlook
The Outlook Import Wizard will import only those Contacts that reside in
your "Main Identity's Contacts" Folder. It will place them in the default Contacts Folder of your current Outlook profile. I would suggest using Folder View in Outlook to examine your entire Folder hierarchy. Perhaps you are importing these Contacts into a folder other than the one you are currently viewing. I can think of no other explanation from this distance. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Lane" wrote in message ... Thanks for bearing with me here. I'm looking in the Address Bood - Main Identity .

It's your move now. We have tried our best to read your mind, and that
obviously isn't working. You'll need to post accurate and complete information to receive help in a newsgroup. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Lane" wrote in message ... Still need help here...
