I have 2 folders both called Contacts. How do I get back to one?
I had to retore my Outlook 2003 pst files from a backup copy on a separate
drive. I now have 2 folders both called Contacts. The one it saves received e-mail addresses to is not the one it uses to look up an address when I write a new mail - though I can get to it. How can I get back to one common Contacts folder? |

How did you "restore" your PST file? You did so incorrectly. Instead you
created a second PST file. There is only one correct way to "restore" a PST file: Open it in Outlook and set it to be your default. Why don't you just combine your Contacts into the default PST file, then close the PST file that is not your default? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "baffled_ken" wrote in message ...

Which of the PSTs is not your delivery location PST? RIght-click the root of that PST and choose Close. -- Brian Tillman |

After a lot of searching and thinking, this is what I managed to do. There is
now only one Coacts file and it seems to work fine. Thanks. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: How did you "restore" your PST file? You did so incorrectly. Instead you created a second PST file.

I thought I had solved my problem. I only have 1 Contacts folder but when i
add contacts to it they don't appear! I searched for *.pst files and found 3 versions of Outlook, 2 in My Documents (both accessed today) and 1 in Local Settings. I have obviosly screwed things up when I restored Outlook from my back up. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: How did you "restore" your PST file? You did so incorrectly.
