Created new unicode pst file as instructed & cannot seem to get my
address book when I click on address book under tool's menu, Had renamed my
new pst file to -- "AgdeBackupUniCode.pst: --. Was able to set it up as
data file for OL (4.5GB & growing) but do not have my address book..?
Please
help further if you would… Thank You

You may have done something wrong, then. Adding a new PST should pick up your
contacts for the address book view automatically. Right-click your Contacts
flder, choose Properties, select the Outlook Address Book tab, and check the
box labeled "Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book". Click OK. Stop and
restart Outlook.

& yesI do back up all data daily with a program called "Super Flexible File
Synchronizer" It is a much more robust version of Briefcase w-many more
features built in!

This is not necessarily a backup. If this program does nothing more than make
a copy of the PST while Outlook is closed, then I'd say you're OK. Anything
else is risky.

Oops Sorry! Just Noticed in Contacts Properties under Activities tab, I
also had to modify my contacts to also branch out & accept the new unicode
PST name I created. Once I did this, then I was able to set the switch to
"include this folder as an email address book". It all seem to be working
now! Thank You All Again....Jim B

You can try a popular Outlook recovery tool called Advanced Outlook
Repair to repair your PST file. It is a powerful tool to recover
messages, folders and other objects from corrupt or damaged Microsoft
Outlook PST files.

Detailed information about Advanced Outlook Repair can be found at

Contact's
folder seems to have all contacts but there are no titles associated
with
their information modules. Also seems that my "INBOX" & "SENT" folders
were
reduced in size as a result..

Most importantly, need to somehow fix my Contacts Titles to reflect
what is
in their containment modules. Thank You In Advance For Any Direction
…. Jim B

This might have happened due to the execution of any arbitrary code or
due to the failure of MDAC (Microsoft Data Access Component). These
serious issues damage or corrupt some of the metadata files of PST due
to which titles associated with the information modules are not visible
and the size of the ‘Inbox’ and ‘Sent’ folders are looking reduced.
Scanpst.exe can to resolve this issue because it is designed to resolve
some minor issues only. So, you any 'PST Repair'
(http://www.repairpst.info) software to resolve the issue and to repair
the corrupted PST files. I am sure you problem will be solved.

All the best!
