Is it showing this in the Address book or on the actual contacts? The setting in Outlook only applies to new contacts. To change existing contacts you need to do it individually or using VBA - see http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/file-as.htm -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about...

Distribution List Error message
Published (2009-12-27 12:34:00)
The backup issue is important. There is no automated way to restore Outlook that works. They corrupt your profile. The only supported method for migrating Outlook data is to open the file in the new Outlook profile. You need to start by creating a new Outlook profile and migrating your data correctly using the methods we post he http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm http://www.howto-outlook.com/Howto/backupandrestore.htm...

Did you try using File, Save as (choose MSG format, unicode msg format if the recipient is using outlook 2003 or 2007) or dragging them to the desktop? Test it with one of the contacts that lost the notes in the export first. As for why some worked and some failed, was there any differences in the length of the notes? -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center:...

I had to restore the contacts after a computer crash and the new contacts I
have added seem to be displaying correctly. I also noticed that my recovered
calendar appointments do not cause the date to be bold in the preview window.
where it shows the three month preview but newly added calendar items do. IS
there some cache that needs to be cleared?

What type of phone?
Outlook data is synced to smart phones either using activesync or the sync
software the phone uses. Ie, my blackberry uses the blackberry desktop
manager if I use the internet services or is synced over the air using
blackberry enterprise server.

There is no address book in Outlook.
You never import Outlook data.
How to migrate Outlook data is posted here daily.
The file you need 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:

I'd add a new pst to your profile, copy the contacts to it and close the pst
then zip it and send the zipped pst.

Depends on how you migrated your data. DL's only survive if you do it

What do you mean by " Contact List?" Where are these Contacts not appearing
that you think they should? Contacts without electronic addresses would not
be expected to appear in the address book view, for example. There would be
no use for them there.

How do I send an email to a contact group in Outlook 2010?

Outlook doesn't use "groups" to send to multiple contacts. Either use
Distribution lists, or better, use a Category.

My big problem is that my user-defined fields (and the content) are nowhere
