Rebuild Contacts Links

Well, it must be missing something because all my Journal items, Calendar
items, and Task items have links to at least one Contact.

All I can say is that intCount is derived from the Count property of the Links collection on the item being processed. You can add a Debug.Print objItem.Subject, objItem.Links.Count statement inside the For Each loop to get a list of the items and their link counts. The list will show in the immediate window.

Just so I'm clear on how to run the macro: When it asks me to choose a
folder, I select the folder that contains the items which need to be
re-linked to a contact record.

Yes, that's correct.

If I decipher the macro correctly, it
defaults to the Contacts folder if no folder is selected, meaning that it
looks for links to other contacts in each contact record.

No, if no folder is selected, no items will be processed at all.

The code looks for matching contacts only in the user's default Contacts folder, not in any other contacts folders that might be present.

That means that intCount equals zero, that the item being worked on has no
contact links.

I'm a bit out of my depth here. I'm a writer, not a programmer. However,
when I press "F8" to step through the script, it gets to the line...

If intCount 0 Then

... and then the highlighting jumps to...

End If

It does this over and over again. I never see any link being added or
removed.

What happens if you step through the code in the debugger? Can you see it
execute the statements where it adds a link, removes the old link, and
saves
the item?

I've unfortunately had the same catastrophe befall me. After upgrading
to
Outlook 2007 and running the recent patch, all the links to my Contacts
from
my Journal items, Task items, and Calendar items suddenly went dead.

I copied and pasted the VBA script into Outlook, and ran the macro, but
nothing has changed. Whenever I double click on a name in a Journal
item's
"Contacts" field, for example, I still get an error message:

"Cannot perform the requested operation. The command selected is not
valid
for this recipient. An internal support function returned an error."

The underscore is a continuation character. If you put the entire
statement
on one line, you must take the underscore out. If you leave it in, the
quotation mark needs to be after the equals sign.

I tried the ReconnectLinks () from Listing 20.2 and I keep getting an
error
at the line which is as follows;
If objLink.item Is Nothing Then
strFind = "[FullName] = _
" & Quote(objLink.Name)

If I type it as written then I get an compile error for unexpected end
of
statement because I hit return after the "_". If it keep the 3rd line
as
part of the 2nd line so that it looks as follows;
strFind = "[FullName] = _" & Quote(objLink.Name)
then I get an error when running it that Sub or Function is not defined
and
it focuses on this line.
