Hello,

I am using outlook 2007 for years. Recently I had to re-install my OS
(Vista 64). I have (of course) kept my PST file (POP-style).

I have the up-to-date versions of outlook2007 and vista-64 (today = 26 Jan
2010).

When I create a new email, I can type the name of my contacts: this works
OK.

When I open an existing email (received one for example) and I right-click
to "look up outlook contact", it says "could not find a contact with this
email address".

When I open the outlook "address book" I see only the "contacts" coming
from my PST file, they are all here and the email addresses are all
correct. I have tried with many contacts (even me) and they all fail.

I do not know what else I could mention in order to get a quick answer.
The situation is very embarrassing.

Thanks in advance for your help!
BR,
Stephane

'Look up Outlook contact' issue in Office 2007
I am using the trial version of Office 2007 standard edition (running on
top
of Vista Business). With Office 2003, I was able to right-click on the
e-mail
address of someone in a mail message, and choose "Look up Outlook
contact."
This was a major convenience as I could see if the person was already in
my
database, which has 3,000 contacts. Now whenever I try and do the same
thing
in Office 2007, a message appears saying "cannot perform the requested
operation. The command selected is not valid for this recipient". When I
select "Show Help" and I get another message: "This error usually occurs
when
you attempt to view the calendar for a user who has one or more of the
following issues: Is not part of your domain. Is not listed in the LDAP.
Is
not a member of your Exchange Server. Has not granted you the necessary
permissions to view their calendar. To avoid this error message, use the
Open
Calendar command only if the user is using Exchange Server. If the user
uses
Exchange Server and you still encounter an error message, ask the user for
the appropriate permissions to view their calendar. If they are not part
of
your network, you will probably not gain access to their calendar. For
more
information see the Microsoft knowledge base article and gives a link."
After
clicking that link, this is the message I see "The Knowledge Base (KB)
Article You Requested Is Currently Not Available."

So can you help me solve this issue? How can I get the 'Look up Outlook
Contact' functionality in my new version of Office 2007? Thanks in
advance!

Not really. You quoted from a KB article that we have no way of knowing
was
even relevant. You told us nothing about your configuration.

Sorry, but I think it's time for a reality check here. You posted in a
newsgroup. That means you are asking other end users just like you to help
you on their own free time free of charge. You are not a "customer" when
you
post in a peer-to-peer newsgroup.
In a newsgroup, it is incumbent upon the poster to provide the information
necessary to address their problem. Here are the guidelines for posting
questions:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=555375
Did you comply with any of these requirements? Not even close. I simply
stated that fact. That is not rude. It's just fact.
What is considered rude in P2P newsgroups is to state that you solved the
problem without even posting how you did so for the benefit of others who
might follow the thread.

I'm having this problem too. I get a calendar-related "cannot perform
requested operation" error message when I try to "Look up Outlook contact"
in
an email message address. Does anyone have the solution to this? It is
not a
migration issue - I get the error on all email addresses. Apparently
there
is a solution but this thread doesn't reveal it.
