Repair and Detect - how to restore
Hi,
I had a problem with my outlook an it asked me to select Detect and Repair under the Help menu, which I did. I chose to restore factory settings. Having done so I lost all the settings. I was able to find my stored messages and settings but seem to have lost my Contacts! Do you know where I could find them or if I could restore in some way? Thx Andrew

Repair and Detect - how to restore
Just find the data file you were using before and open it. Search for *.pst
and include hidden files when you do. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "andrew" wrote in message ...

Thx Andrew Hi Russ: My outlook has dropped my contacts. I did a search and can find the pst files but when I try to import them into my Outlook contacts, it tells me the source and destination files are the same. How do I get them back to the correct location to use when sending emails. Thanks for your help.

Why would you import Outlook data? This is an Outlook data file already.
Just open it. Here are the instructions: File Open Outlook Data File... Pretty simple. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "canuck" wrote in message ...
