Duplicate contact folders in Outlook 2003
I just changed from outlook 2002 to outlook 2003. I put my previous
outlook.pst file in place of the file created at installation and renamed it. When I open outlook 2003 everything is fine except in the contact folders. (I should add here that in outlook 2002 I had a lot of nested folders, ie I have a government folder and nested under it folders for city and county.) Now I have two sets of everything. I have a contacts folder and a duplicate listed as Contacts in Personal Folders and they both have the same info. So where I originally had about 20 folders, I have 40, 20 with their original names and 20 duplicates with "in personal folders" tacked on at the end of the name. However deleting any contacts (or folders) in one will delete both. What have I wrought? HELP |

That's the worst possible way to migrate Outlook data. You'll corrupt your
profile every time. Start over with a new profile. Read the instructions here on how you should migrate Outlook data: http://office.microsoft.com/assistan...1141033&CTT=98 -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "mread" wrote in message ...
