can't import address from access to outlook
Hi Sue,
I am not sure where you want me to click to show message etc but I think the original contacts folder is full and the deleted contacts(wherever that may be) is also full. I tried to delete all the information and it says the folder is full. The only folder I see with deleted information is the one that holds the deleted emails. The contacts folder says it has 65,500 items in it although I can't see anything. When I change views it is still blank but the design is there. I can't seem to find anything relating to "show". Thanks, Rose "Rose" wrote: Something is wrong with the original contact folder. Somehow it is full with displaying anything.

The contacts folder says it has 65,500 items
in it although I can't see anything. That's undoubtedly the problem. It looks like you have hit the maximum number of items in a .pst file folder. You might want to see if Scanpst.exe can fix it -- see http://www.slipstick.com/problems/scanpst.htm -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Rose" wrote in message ...

can't import address from access to outlook
Yes, all views are blank except you can see that the formatting is there. If
I try deleting part of the contacts it tells me the folder is full. I am confused as to why it says there are 65,000 items (only have 400 contacts). I did try importing many times so I assume it has added up - still can't be seen. Isn't there some way to delete this folder and start over? My new folder imported just fine except it is not recognized by the address book.
