Default Rebuild Contacts Links

Outlook 2007. I migrated a PST file from Outlook 2003.

Maybe it's a difference with Outlook 2007 as well? Or do you have 2003 on
the Vista machine?

FWIW, I had no similar problem when I migrated to Vista. Although the path
changes, Vista's junction points seem to have taken care of the
redirection.

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.
