When I sort Contacts by Company, I get two separate sets of "Company (none)"
and the rest of the company lists are accurate. How can I get these to be one set? (They have different contacts in each list of 100+ "none" companies.) |

Drag one set to the other. Repeat the other way if necessary.
The reason you have two sets is that one represents items for which the Company value was never set, while the other is those items whose Company was once some non-blank value but is now blank. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "RAMcKellin" wrote in message ...

Now I'm having difficulty dragging one set to the other. I've tried both
directions, both by dragging and by select, cut and paste, but they're not moving. Please advise. "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Drag one set to the other. Repeat the other way if necessary.

What exactly happens when you try? You should see a "tool tip" appear if you drag the items and hold the mouse over the target group.

I've collapsed the groups and tried to drag the group from one to the other
and vice versa. I've selected the whole of one group and dragged to the target group title. I've tried selecting one contact from a group and pasting it into the other. Each of these has given me a "tool tip" (the arrow with the box, right?) and when I release it over the target group (either header or within the group) nothing moves.

I'm using Outlook 2007. Same problem with Company name. I've tried dragging
one group to the other, by group or by individual. This has done nothing. "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: What version of Outlook?

Has anybody discovered a resolution to this? I have the same issue. It
seems to be somehow related to contacts called on my WM 6.1 cell phone that connects via activesync. "pax" wrote: I'm using Outlook 2007. Same problem with Company name.

I solved my problem by dragging one group of "none" to the other group of
"none", one at a time. Don't know why that worked, because it did not the first time I tried it. Although I cannot prove it, it seems likely that the source of the discrepancy was that some contacts were created in different manners (for example, download vs. create from scratch).

Yeah, I've read that's the recommended "solution," but that doesn't work for
me. They don't move to the other group, in either direction. "pax" wrote: I solved my problem by dragging one group of "none" to the other group of "none", one at a time.
