Activities Not Showing - 2007
I see several other messages on this - but no answers. I upgraded from 2003
to 2007. The upgrade took care of the data migration - when 2007 opened, all my 2003 data was there. So I assume the 2007 version simply used my existing pst file. However, my problem is that linked activities do not show consistantly in the Activities tab of the contact. I can open a contact, and there all there - close and re-open the same contact and none are displayed! |

Upgrades NEVER "take care of data migration."
Upgrade installations are not recommended. When you attempt one you must create a new Outlook Profile from scratch and migrate your data to it correctly. The file you need to migrate is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored. Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer: http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm http://www.howto-outlook.com/Howto/backupandrestore.htm http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...771141033.aspx Note that some of the information on these pages is outdated and no longer applies to Outlook 2003 or 2007. Specifically: 1. Ignore any advice to copy your PST file to Outlook's default location to connect it to your profile. Doing so only corrupts your profile. Copy it anywhere BUT the default location and open it within your Outlook profile. 2. Ignore any advice that tells you to use export or import to transfer Outlook data. That has never been sound advice, but the process has become too deeply flawed now to be of any use whatsoever. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "noelma" wrote in message ...

Answer is the same. If you want to know how you migrated your data
incorrectly, you must tell us how you did it. As it is, you must create a new profile and migrate your data correctly. It is your profile that is corrupt. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "activetrouble" wrote in message ...

You said you "switched from an earlier version." State how you did so
clearly and accurately. It is the likely source of your problem since there is no way to "switch from an earlier version" with Outlook. Outlook should only be installed clean. Data can only be switched from an earlier version by connecting a clean installation to your former data source correctly. Your symptoms suggest you failed to do so. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "activetrouble" wrote in message ...

Hi Russ! Away for Easter so just read your response.
Wow! And I thought I was following MS instructions to the letter! Ok - I am where I am. I understand how to make a backup of the pst file, and to re-locate it to a more appropriate folder. How do I create a "new profile"? Do I have to un-install and re-install Outlook, then point it at the backed up pst? N.

First, thanks for all of the information and websites everyone has added.
Upgraded long ago... using Outlook 2007 (12.0.6316.5000) SP1 I followed the steps and created a new profile. Created a contact, added an appointment to the calendar, and created a new task. All are tied to the contact. Still can't see any activities for the contact. Checked my settings and "Contact Linking" is selected. Not sure if it matters, but I don't use Outlook for email and have not configured that portion. I have read and searched for many hours... not sure what to do. You all are so knowledgeable and helpful! THANKS!! |
