Rebuild Contacts Links
I recently installed Vista and and Office 2003. Now when I click on a
Contact link on the bottom left hand corner of a Contact in Outlook, I get the following message. "Cannot perform the requested operation. The command selected is not valid for this recipient." I remember that there is a command to rebuild these links, but I can't remember what it is.

Rebuild Contacts Links
I created a new mail profile and added the Outlook file and Archive, made
them the default and deleted the Outlook file that came with the new profile. "Brian Tillman" wrote: chunnel wrote: I recently installed Vista and and Office 2003.

It should have preserved your links. As long as you avoid export/import, the links should have worked.. Sorry, I don't have any suggestions. -- Brian Tillman

Even though you migrated data correctly, you still need to reset your
Outlook Address Book Service to use the file you migrated. Did you? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "chunnel" wrote in message ...

I just removed and created a new Outlook address book, if that's what you
meant. But the problem remains. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Even though you migrated data correctly, you still need to reset your Outlook Address Book Service to use the file you migrated.

I remember talking to Sue at one point about this a year or so ago and she
had some kind of Command line switch that fixed this problem. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Inexplicable. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "chunnel" wrote in message ...

None that I'm aware of. You can look at the list of possibilities:

No, that's not a problem that can be fixed with a command-line switch. Is the .pst file on the new machine in exactly the same folder path as the one on the old machine? If not, that could be part of the problem.
