Default Rebuild Contacts Links

Too bad that the path was to My Documents.

The only other solution would involve running some VBA code. I hesitate to suggest that unless you're comfortable working with VBA (see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/vbabasics.htm) and take care to make a backup of the data before running the code. Let me know.

No it's not, I'm now in Vista, and I tried to create a new path that would
mimic the old one, but when I try to creat a folder called Documents and
Settings, I get a message that the info in this folder will get moved to
Users.

No, that's not a problem that can be fixed with a command-line switch. Is the .pst file on the new machine in exactly the same folder path as the one on the old machine? If not, that could be part of the problem.

I remember talking to Sue at one point about this a year or so ago and she
had some kind of Command line switch that fixed this problem.

I just removed and created a new Outlook address book, if that's what you
meant. But the problem remains.

Even though you migrated data correctly, you still need to reset your
Outlook Address Book Service to use the file you migrated. Did you?

I created a new mail profile and added the Outlook file and Archive,
made
them the default and deleted the Outlook file that came with the new
profile.

I recently installed Vista and and Office 2003. Now when I click on
a
Contact link on the bottom left hand corner of a Contact in Outlook,
I get the following message. "Cannot perform the requested
operation. The command selected is not valid for this recipient."
I
remember that there is a command to rebuild these links, but I can't
remember what it is.
