Contacts folders
I'm using Outlook 2003 with XP Pro, after upgrading from
Office XP when I got a new notebook. My contacts are in three folders; Contacts, group A and Group B. I've noticed that if I open contacts (from the left hand column) I have folders listed as follows: Contacts, Group A, Group B, Group a , Contacts. When I tried to open the last two to see what was in them the right pane displays: 'Unable to display the folder. Microsoft Office Outlook could not access the specified folder location. The operation cannot be performed because the object has been deleted.' Is there a way to remove the repeated folders/lists/whatever they are? Regards Eddie |

It is not clear to what view you are referring.
How did you migrate your data to this new installation? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Eddie Biggs" wrote in message ...

Contacts folders
I used Email Saver Xe. The view I'm referring to is in
the Navigation Pane. The way this set up is with navigation Pane on the left. When I click on th econtacts button at the bottom of the pane, my contacts show up, with Group A and Group B as folders underneath. However, there is a repeat listing of Group A and Contacts (in that order) after Group A. -----Original Message----- It is not clear to what view you are referring.

What is Email Saver XE?
Why didn't you just copy and reuse your PST file? Do you still have your original PST file? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Eddie Biggs" wrote in message ... I used Email Saver Xe.

That's rather an important detail you left out. How were we supposed to have
guessed that you used a non-supported method to transfer data? Either your PST file or your view is now corrupt. Can't you just R click and close the extra folder references? Try repairing your PST file with the Inbox Repair Tool. Try starting Outlook once with the /cleanviews switch. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Eddie Biggs" wrote in message ...

Sorry for the misinformation - I wasn't expecting anyone
to guess anything and just didn't occur to me until you asked how the data was transferred. As you would have guessed with me needing a techo to set up a network, that supposedly should be self evident, I'm not exactly au fait with the tools at my disposal. The /cleanviews option worked - thanks. I do appreciate this recently found forum though that I have found very helpful. I gather that if I locate the .pst file I can copy it to a disk and that will be a back up copy of outlook, contacts,my email settings and all my emial messages?

Contacts folders
Actually the /cleanviews didn't work. When I click on
either of the folders the address bar shows outlook:000000005781EF02D9760341AD871AD28681CFB062 830000 does that lead to anything. If my pst file is corrupted,is there a way to save past email messages etc and restarting a new .pst file?

Contacts folders - fixed
So we're OK then? Sounds more like a corrupted view that a corrupted PST
file. It was retaining links to the previous location of the PST file. Saving a copy of your PST file periodically is always a good idea for backup purposes. The Inbox Repair Tool can fix most errors, but not all. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Eddie Biggs" wrote in message ... a couple of restarts and it worked again and seems to be stayed fixed.
