Outlook 2007 Contact Folder

[Jane]

RE: Outlook 2007 Contact Folder. We just installed Office Ultimate 2007 on
two PC’s in our office. I am having a problem with one computer. The owner of
the company deleted all his contacts in his Outlook 2007 contact folder.
Fortunately I had pulled a copy of his contacts into the “public foldersâ€. I
tried loading these back into his contact folders several different ways,
i.e. copying the folder over to his Outlook folders, importing, etc. Each way
I do it all the contact goes into a “new contact†list and not his empty
primary contact folder. He now has an empty “Contact†folder and a†Contact1â€
folder with his 2642 names. The system defaults to the empty Contact folder.
How do I repair this problem? Thank you.

We just released a program that may help you. You can download a trial version at http://www.smallbsystems.com/sbs/OutlookUtility.htm.

We wrote the program for a client that has salesmen that keep a fortune of information on their laptops and have no clue how to backup.

Instead of copying the entire folder, simply select all the individual items
in the public folder and copy them to the user's default Contacts folder.
