Addressbook configurations

In Outlook 2000, SP3, why are some addresses shown as a name & some as actual email addresses? There must be a setting somewhere that causes the differentiation but I haven't located it.

Import or link to access db

Hi, I've tried posting this query before - but can't find it in the forum. So here goes again. We have Outlook 2007 and on that a shared folder for contacts (with Exchange server). We also have a list of contacts in Access (2003) - Ideally we would like these linked to Outlook. I understand from other posts that the link wizard is not ideal. Being a sunsidiary company it is a difficult and arduous process getting approval for new software - otherwise we'd get something like ContactGenie. My programming skills are limited so any advice is welcome. Is there perhaps a way of auto

Address Book Issues

When I click "To" I do not see my contacts like I used to. I right clicked on contacts, properties and the box all of the forums said to check was greyed out. Following another lead I went to Toos, Account Settings, Address Books and attempted to "remove" the "Outlook address book" to add it again. However, "remove" is greyed out and not an option. The only option I see is to "add a mobile address book". However even then I cannot delete the Outlook address book. I always use this to select certain individuals and now this is becoming a pain. Any help?

Create a Distribution List from Excel

Hi. I have found lots of instructions online to create a distribution list from an Excel/CSV contacts list. However, all of them seem to involve importing the data into a newly created contacts folder and then creating a distribution list from there. I have a number of contacts lists containing hundreds of rows each and was wondering therefore if there is a way of cutting out the middle step and importing them directly into a distribution list?? Thanks. Liz.

Duplicate Account in Contacts

how to save/export stored email addresses in Outlook 2003

Anyone know how to save Outlook's stored email addresses to the contacts folder or to export them? Thanks

Link Outlook contacts to Access table

Hi, from the various questions already posted the MS forum it appears that using the link wizard in Access is not the way to go. Furthermore, as I'm wanting to update Contacts (only) in a shared folder I also found that I could not select the shared 'Contacts' folder (Only 'My contacts'). As we have someone else administrating the contacts I want to make life easy for her. We could do a manual import (or export) once a week. I have already done this once - but it is quite a long process to repeat. Is there perhaps a way of automating this? We are using Outlook 2007 and Access 2

UDF in this item; view problem; upgrade from 2003 to 2010

I have Office 2010 beta. I exported my Outlook 2003 to a .pst file, then imported to Outlook 2010 beta. Most everything works well. I would like to view ALL of my old "UDF in this item"s in the view mode. I have created a new view, HOWEVER, it will not show any of my OLD "UDF's in this item." I am able to add any Office pre-assigned drop down items. Is there a way to view my UDF in this item, without going to each individual contact? I was able in 2003 version to sort & view all of them. Did I incorrectly import?

contact organization

I recently changed from OE to OL2007 on an XP system. They are sooo different. I like the way OE allows you to organize your email Address Book by groups and by distribution lists. I cannot find out how to do the same with OL2007. I have spent hours changing "display as" entries and categorizing. The categories appear in Contacts but not in the email Address Book. In addition, contacts mysteriously disappear, duplicate themselves, and reverse first-name/last-name order. I believe my basic problem is I don't know how Outlook manages the data and, therefore I'm causing the

View access to multiple contact lists when doing an email merge

Attempting to do a mail merge via email. I created a separate contacts folder (not distribution list) to house those who will receive the email.

What should I do to be able to view the list I need. Thanks -- ladebster

Sort order still a problem for e-mail

I am using Outlook 2007. My sort order is set to First Last, and I have changed it to Last First, restarted Outlook, and changed it back to First Last and restarted again. Still, when I go to send an e-mail, about 90% of my contacts are in correct First Last order, but the other 10% is in Last First. The erroneous info appears to be quite random, as I've looked at the actual contact records and there is nothing unusual about them. Is there any way to correct this, besides completely deleting those contacts and re-entering them?

Business Contact - "Accounts" Missing

I have a long list of business contacts sorted by Accounts. Unfortunately, I clicked the Accounts column while in the Business Contacts view, and all those accounts disappeared from the column. The title of the column shows, but nothing is populated or organized based on account. Now, all my contacts are ungrouped (over 3,000). If you click on an individual contact, the person still retains its Linked Account designation, but those accounts are no longer linked and organized via that filter. Can anyone help with bringing back that category to my Business Contacts view? I hope this
