Relinking Outlook Contacts
I recently reinstalled Outlook 2003 Sm Bus Edition w/ Bus Contact Mgr.
I copied my contacts to the Contact file. I am finding that previously linked contacts are no longer linked. Instead I get the following error: "Cannot perform the requested operation. The command selected is not valid for this recepient." Must I relink each item individually? -- All the best!

Relinking Outlook Contacts
Probably. Depends on what you mean by "I copied my contacts to the Contact
file." That could mean anything. If you migrate data correctly, you wouldn't have to recreate links. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Southern Living At HOME Lady" m wrote in message ...

Relinking Outlook Contacts
My hard drive crashed. My Outlook info was saved to a disk. I copied the
info to my desktop, then imported the info into Outlook. I then had two Contact files, one empty and one containing all my info. Since I couldn't change the file that Outlook automatically saved contact in, I copied and pasted all of my contacts into the "Contact" file and deleted the other extra one. Email is there, but modified tasks are "not in your calendar or task folder" and pre-existing links between contacts are gone. -- All the best! "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Probably.

Relinking Outlook Contacts
No wonder. Importing is never the correct way to migrate Outlook data. It
breaks all links and loses other data as well. Next time, just open your data file in Outlook. Never import it. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Southern Living At HOME Lady" m wrote in message ...

Relinking Outlook Contacts
How do I do this? The file was not in Outlook. When I reinstalled Outlook
it made up it's own files. My info was on a disc. I searched for the .pst files and copied them to my desktop. How should I move the information into Outlook if not by importing? -- All the best!

The way I already posted. Please post what you did not understand.
File Open Outlook Data File... is the sequence you would use. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Southern Living At HOME Lady" m wrote in message ... How do I do this? The file was not in Outlook.
