Adding contacts - but already exist
Before I start, I promise to be v-e-r-y careful looking for replies lest I
incur the ire of Mr Angry. In Outlook 2007 I search for a contact but nthing is returned (ditto e-mails and calendar), so I add a contact again which I thought was already there. As soon as I add it, a 'duplicate' message appears with the choice to overwrite. If I do so, both the old and new contacts are visible. I recently created a new profile because all my contacts had disappeared. I have deleted the old profile. What file could the invisible contacts/calendar be in and how can I bring them into my new profile?
