Address book unavailable
Just upgraded from 2003 to 2007and all data has been migrated to the new
computer & version of Outlook. I have access to my contact data in Contacts, but not through Address Book. When using the tools menu to add an address book, there are no choices in the drop-down menu. When attempting to designate a contact list as an address book via Address Book in the Properties menu of the contact list, the option of "Show this folder....." is 'grayed' and I am unable to select it. I have tried creating a new contact folder in My Contacts, but the same thing happens. Help! I need an address book! |

Question is answered daily here.
Answer depends on how you migrated your data. You did so incorrectly but didn't bother to tell us what you did. Find one of the posts that matches what you did, then follow the instructions. -- Russ Valentine "Bobbi Armbruster" Bobbi wrote in message ...

Okay, feeling really stupid here. I found many posts regarding my problem,
but nothing recent and all seemed to apply to Vista or XP. The new machine is running Windows 7 and for the life of me can't figure out how to create a new profile. To transfer data, I used a data transfer cable and the Windows transfer program. Can you help me resolve this problem in a Windows 7 environment?

Hard to believe you searched these groups and didn't find the answer. Did
you use Google instead of Microsoft? Google works much better. My search turned up countless posts that tell you that you never use Windows Easy Transfer with Outlook. It has never worked with Outlook and apparently never will. Microsoft won't admit it, but the rest of the world knows. You'll need to create a new Outlook profile from scratch. You'll need to connect that new profile to your data file correctly instead of using Microsoft's pretend method. Instructions for creating a new profile: http://support.microsoft.com/default...roduct=out2003 Instructions for migrating Outlook data correctly: http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm http://www.howto-outlook.com/Howto/backupandrestore.htm http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...771141033.aspx It is a disgrace that you have to put up with this. Microsoft should have fixed this debacle long ago. It's not like they haven't been told. -- Russ Valentine "Bobbi Armbruster" wrote in message ... Okay, feeling really stupid here.
