Soory russ you are not understanding the problem. at the bottom of an
appointment there is a box marked "contact" any contact I put in that box,
used to show up under history or activities in all other versions of outlook.
judging by the number of posts, I am not wrong here, this fuction does not
work properly in outlook 2007. these entries do not always show up in
activities.. thanks Rob

Sorry Russ swithed was the wrong term.. Installed oulook 2007 "clean"
created
contacts now when I look in there activities appointments that were linked
to
them don't always show up I.E. opened up a contact looked in activities
and
appoinment was there, looked up another contact, went back to the first,
information gone. Most of the time appoinments that have been linked to a
contact don't show in activities. Any help thanks Rob

You said you "switched from an earlier version." State how you did so
clearly and accurately. It is the likely source of your problem since
there
is no way to "switch from an earlier version" with Outlook. Outlook
should
only be installed clean. Data can only be switched from an earlier
version
by connecting a clean installation to your former data source correctly.
Your symptoms suggest you failed to do so.

Answer is the same. If you want to know how you migrated your data
incorrectly, you must tell us how you did it. As it is, you must
create a
new profile and migrate your data correctly. It is your profile that
is
corrupt.

Upgrades NEVER "take care of data migration."
Upgrade installations are not recommended. When you attempt one you
must
create a new Outlook Profile from scratch and migrate your data to
it
correctly.
The file you need to migrate is your Personal Folders file (*.pst)
It's
where all the mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.
Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or
transfer:
http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm
http://www.howto-outlook.com/Howto/backupandrestore.htm
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...771141033.aspx
Note that some of the information on these pages is outdated and no
longer
applies to Outlook 2003 or 2007. Specifically:
1. Ignore any advice to copy your PST file to Outlook's default
location
to
connect it to your profile. Doing so only corrupts your profile.
Copy
it
anywhere BUT the default location and open it within your Outlook
profile.
2. Ignore any advice that tells you to use export or import to
transfer
Outlook data. That has never been sound advice, but the process has
become
too deeply flawed now to be of any use whatsoever.

I see several other messages on this - but no answers. I upgraded
from
2003
to 2007. The upgrade took care of the data migration - when 2007
opened,
all
my 2003 data was there. So I assume the 2007 version simply used
my
existing
pst file. However, my problem is that linked activities do not
show
consistantly in the Activities tab of the contact. I can open a
contact,
and
there all there - close and re-open the same contact and none are
displayed!
