Problems with email addresses showing in Contacts

[Bill Badzmierowski]

I use Outlook XP at home and Outlokk 2000 at work. I also
use a palm device to synchronize both my home and my
office computers with each other. I generally update
everything on my office computer and then overwirite the
data from my palm device to Outlook at home.

I have no idea if any of this is causing the behavior I
will describe, but I am guessing that this background
information is essential.

The problem thht I am having inviolves Outlook Contacts
and Outlook Address Book. What is happening is that
although I indictae thatall contact folders should show as
an outlook address book, there are email addresses
associated with contacts that do not show up in contacts,
even though they do show up in address book. This results
in no email addressses being printed from contacts in my
printed version of the contacts with which I travel. I
don't understand the behavior of these programs, i.e. the
manner in which they do/don't collaborate with each other

You need to look more closely at all your folders because what you describe
cannot occur. The Outlook Address Book is merely a view of the electronic
addresses that reside in your Contacts Folders. There is no data that
resides in the Outlook Address Book. Accordingly, there can be no such thing
as an email address in the Address Book that does not exist in a Contacts
Folder somewhere. More than likely you have created more than one Contacts
Folder somewhere along the way.

 

[Bill Badzmierowski]

It is occuring. In many of my individual contacts, the
person's name appears in the email address field but no
email address. When I try double clicking on it to view
the email address, I get an error stating "The name or
distribution list has been deleted and is no longer a
valid address book entry". However, when I then go into
address book to get that person's email address, it does
appear there.

Two additional pieces of information that my be helpful:

1. I do have sevral categories of contacts (i.e personal,
business, and a few other categories)

2. This behavior only began after I had to install a new
hard disk and therefore had to reinstall the software and
restore the data from a backup. In anticipation of your
next question, yes, the backup was quite current

I back it up every day, so it would then be backing up the
corrupt data with additional corrupt data. Wouldn't this
be the case?

I supoose I can use some down time at an airport while
traveling and go back and manually re-enter all of the
email addreses into contacts. I would prefer to avoid
this though.

I apologize. I though I had answered this.

I use Outlook Backup to backup my data every day. Outlook
Backup always rewrites the data file over the last backup.
So no, I don't have that original data file, since it is
rewritten over itself every day. I used the restore

Yes....it is only after I reionstalld teh softare and

I use Outlook XP at home and Outlokk 2000 at
work. I
also
use a palm device to synchronize both my

home
and

my
office computers with each other. I generally
update
everything on my office computer and then
overwirite
the
data from my palm device to Outlook at home.

I have no idea if any of this is causing the
behavior I
will describe, but I am guessing that this
background
information is essential.

The problem thht I am having inviolves Outlook
Contacts
and Outlook Address Book. What is happening is
that
although I indictae thatall contact folders should
show
as
an outlook address book, there are email addresses
associated with contacts that do not show up in
contacts,
even though they do show up in address book. This
results
in no email addressses being printed from contacts
in my
printed version of the contacts with which I
travel. I
don't understand the behavior of these programs,
i.e.
the
manner in which they do/don't collaborate with
each
other

Well what kind of file does this backup program create? It should be a PST
file, too. If so, just open it in Outlook. Don't run the restore routine.

I see. So the only PST file you have is one that this backup program created
and that you then tried to restore to a different installation than the one
from which you created the backup.
That may be a problem.
As a last resort I would at least do the following:
1. Use the Inbox Repair Tool to repair this PST. Alternate with a scandisk
utility until you get no error messages.
2. Create a new Outlook Profile from scratch and configure it to use this
newly repaired PST as its default.

Update: I created a test folder for contacts and did
import the Excel file. It does work and the email
adreseses show up as they should (which really makes no
sense to me if the file was corrupted). HOWEVER, I want
the conatcts to import and display as they do in the
contacts folder in question, that is - I want them sorted
by company and then by last and first name. Instead, it
is ignoring the company name and filing by last name and
first name. I changed the settings in the outlook options
so that new contacts sort by Company first, but it is
still not doing thatn when I re-omport teh files. HELP
again! I solved one problem only to run into another!

Back up a bit. The backup utility you referred to cannot back up to an
installation from which the PST file was not created. You've left out some
crucial details here.
Describe more accurately how you configured your new installation of Outlook
do use your backup PST file.

Update: I created a test folder for contacts and did
import the Excel file. It does work and the email
adreseses show up as they should (which really makes no
sense to me if the file was corrupted). HOWEVER, I want
the conatcts to import and display as they do in the
contacts folder in question, that is - I want them sorted
by company and then by last and first name. Instead, it
is ignoring the company name and filing by last name and
first name. I changed the settings in the outlook options
so that new contacts sort by Company first, but it is
still not doing thatn when I re-omport teh files. HELP
again! I solved one problem only to run into another!

This did not work. The Inbox Reapir tool did fix many
errors but did not remedy this situation.

I did try exporting everything to an Excel file and
noticed that the email address does get exported as the
amil addresss. Would it work to export the pst file qan
dtehn import it to se eif this works, or will that create
otehr problems?

-----Original Message-----
I see. So the only PST file you have is one that this backup program created
and that you then tried to restore to a different installation than the one
from which you created the backup.
That may be a problem.
As a last resort I would at least do the following:
1. Use the Inbox Repair Tool to repair this PST. Alternate with a scandisk
utility until you get no error messages.
2. Create a new Outlook Profile from scratch and configure it to use this
newly repaired PST as its default.

Yes. it creates a PST file. I got the impression from
your response that it would still be a corrpupt PST file
since it gets overwritten every day
-----Original Message-----
Well what kind of file does this backup program create?
It should be a PST
file, too. If so, just open it in Outlook. Don't run the
restore routine.

So since I no longer have the old PST file is there no
way
to correct this problem without simply manulally re-
entering everything into contacts?
-----Original Message-----
You can't "restore" to an installation from which you
had
never created the
backup.
Just reuse your old PST file.

I used Micosoft's add on to outlook for
backup/resore to
retore the data. This is also what I had used to
back
it
up in the first place
-----Original Message-----
Let me be sure I understand. You put in a brand new
hard
drive, reinstalled
Office and Outlook clean, then used a backup utility
to "restore" data to an
installation from which the backup had not been
created?

I apologize. I though I had answered this.

I use Outlook Backup to backup my data every day.
Outlook
Backup always rewrites the data file over the last
backup.
So no, I don't have that original data file,
since it
is
rewritten over itself every day. I used the
restore
function of the Outlook Backup Progam to restore
the
data
after I reinstalled the software on my new hard
disk.

Yes....it is only after I reionstalld teh softare
and
retored teh data file that I noticed this problem.

I really apprecaite any help you can give me on
this
-----Original Message-----
We should be able to fix this. But I still need
the
answer to my question.
How did you transfer your Outlook data after you
reinstalled the OS? Isn't
that when you said the trouble started? Do you
still
have
a copy of the
Outlook Data File you used before you
reinstalled?

I back it up every day, so it would then be
backing
up
the
corrupt data with additional corrupt data.
Wouldn't
this
be the case?

I supoose I can use some down time at an
airport
while
traveling and go back and manually re-enter
all of
the
email addreses into contacts. I would prefer
to
avoid
this though.

No. My next question is how did you transfer
your
data?
You corrupted it in
the process. Do you still have your backup?

It is occuring. In many of my individual
contacts,
the
person's name appears in the email address
field
but
no
email address. When I try double clicking
on
it
to
view
the email address, I get an error
stating "The
name
or
distribution list has been deleted and is no
longer a
valid address book entry". However, when I
then
go
into
address book to get that person's email
address,
it
does
appear there.

Two additional pieces of information that
my be
helpful:

1. I do have sevral categories of contacts
(i.e
personal,
business, and a few other categories)

2. This behavior only began after I

had

to
install a
new
hard disk and therefore had to

reinstall

the
software
and
restore the data from a backup. In
anticipation
of
your
next question, yes, the backup was quite
current
-----Original Message-----
You need to look more closely at all your
folders
because
what you describe
cannot occur. The Outlook Address Book is
merely a
view
of the electronic
addresses that reside in your Contacts
Folders.
There
is
no data that
resides in the Outlook Address Book.
Accordingly,
there
can be no such thing
as an email address in the Address Book
that
does
not
exist in a Contacts
Folder somewhere. More than likely you have
created
more
than one Contacts
Folder somewhere along the way.

I use Outlook XP at home and Outlokk
2000 at
work. I
also
use a palm device to synchronize

both

my
home
and
my
office computers with each other. I
generally
update
everything on my office computer and then
overwirite
the
data from my palm device to Outlook at
home.

I have no idea if any of this is causing
the
behavior I
will describe, but I am guessing that
this
background
information is essential.

The problem thht I am having inviolves
Outlook
Contacts
and Outlook Address Book. What is
happening
is
that
although I indictae thatall contact
folders
should
show
as
an outlook address book, there are email
addresses
associated with contacts that do not
show up
in
contacts,
even though they do show up in address
book.
This
results
in no email addressses being printed from
contacts
in my
printed version of the contacts with
which I
travel. I
don't understand the behavior of these
programs,
i.e.
the
manner in which they do/don't collaborate
with
each
other
