Outlook 2007 is freezing up on indexing contacts
When trying a search in Outlook 2007, I get the yellow banner that Outlook is
still indexing my contact files. But no progress occurs. I imported an Outlook 2003 pst contact file to Outlook 2007: could that be causing the problem?

Outlook 2007 is freezing up on indexing contacts
Importing Outlook data is always a problem. You should never do it. Why did
you? Have you waited until indexing has finished? Do that first. Only then can we figure out what other problems you have unleashed by importing Outlook data. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "CWTrooper" wrote in message ...

Outlook 2007 is freezing up on indexing contacts
I have Outlook 2003 at work and import my 611 contacts to my home systems
using Outlook 2007. Is there a better way to do this? I'm waiting hours for the re-indexing to finish. Is this normal? Thanks. CWTrooper.

No. It's not normal. But it may be because you imported your Contacts. If
the reindexing does not finish, then try repairing your PST file and try again. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "CWTrooper" wrote in message ...

Outlook 2007 is freezing up on indexing contacts
Tried runnin scanpst.exe on the file on my memory card, then deleted the
Outlook 2007 entries and re-imported the "clean" file. It is still re-indexing 13224 entries. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: No. It's not normal.

On your memory card?
Tell us the rest of the story. Why would a memory card be in play? It shouldn't be. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "CWTrooper" wrote in message ...

Outlook 2007 is freezing up on indexing contacts
It's still re-indexing, little progress. I deleted all entries, ran
scanpst.exe against the Outlook 2003 file, which corrected one problem entry, then imported the file to Outlook 2007 and this is still re-indexing.

Outlook 2007 is freezing up on indexing contacts
As Russ said NEVER import. Take a copy of the file from the other machine
and open it in on this machine, then drag then contacts to the new personal folder -- Neil "CWTrooper" wrote in message ... It's still re-indexing, little progress.

OK, but don't quite understand this. Copy the .pst file as a right click on
the file and copy? Then paste to the Contacts personal folder? "Remove ABCD from Email address to reply" wrote: As Russ said NEVER import.

Outlook 2007 is freezing up on indexing contacts
I have the same problem, indexing never finishes. How else would one get
their contacts into Outlook? I imported them from a pst from Office 2003. Indexing did not ever complete. I reinstalled Office, that did not solve the issue and was then told to restore my computer, still did not resolve the issue. Weekly, I exoort all of my Outlook data to a pst for back up, is this not the correct back up methood for Outlook? -- toledoone "CWTrooper" wrote: When trying a search in Outlook 2007, I get the yellow banner that Outlook is still indexing my contact files.
