Can't search for contacts
Hi, Just bought a new notebook computer and migrated to it by using Vista's
easy transfer after installing all of my programs. I chose the option to transfer all date, files and settings. Using Office 2007. My contacts are in my contacts folder, but when I search for them, say from an email or the search addresss book window in Outllook they are nowhere to be found. How can I correct this problem, please? Robert

You cannot use WET with Outlook. It creates a corrupt profile. Create a new
Outlook profile from scratch and migrate your data to it correctly. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Robert" wrote in message ...

Can't search for contacts
Good morning, Russ, This response was helpful, but I'm not sure what the proper way to transfer that data is. I usually have just copied my pst file with no problems at all, which I know is not the case for so many posts I read here. Now I may have the problem of keeping track of the emails and I've written and received in Oulook over the last week. More specific ideas would be helpful, please, Robert "Robert" wrote: Hi, Just bought a new notebook computer and migrated to it by using Vista's easy transfer after installing all of my programs.

We do post that information every day. The file you need is your Personal
Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored. Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer: http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm http://www.howto-outlook.com/Howto/backupandrestore.htm http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...771141033.aspx -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Robert" wrote in message ...

Can't search for contacts
I'm really sorry if I sound dumb. I'm just not getting this solved. I
created a new profile. Deleted the old. Ran a Microsoft repair tool on the ..pst file and it corrected errors. Pointed Outlook to the repaired .pst file, but I still can't open contacts. I read the 3 articles to which you pointed. I build my own computers and solve most problems on my own, but this one is escaping me.

Provide sufficient detail on how you are connecting to this file and why you
can't open your Contacts. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Robert" wrote in message ... I'm really sorry if I sound dumb. I'm just not getting this solved. I created a new profile. Deleted the old.

Problem solved after following the directions you indicated. Apparently my
computer wanted me to not only close and restart Outlook, but to do a reboot. "Search address book" works fine now. It didn't last night when I called it a day. Thanks for the help. I really appreciate the time you take to reply to all of the problems that get posted here. I can usually find what I need with a search in the database of past experiences from others.
