We are working in network and have our contact folder logged on the
server. There are 5 PC (os Win XP on the pcs and win 2003 small
business server on the server)linked to the server. when we open the
outlook contacts (logged on the server)all the contacts are present as
we can locate them using a manual search on all of the work stations
but when we try to search for a specific contact the reply is always
"No Items Found". I have tried to do a normal search as well as
advanced search to no avail. This function was working fine until
recently even though no new software or hardware has been installed. I
have checked the configuration on the folder and permission is given at
an owner level to all users, and the problem exists with all users.
I have come to the conclusion that when we perform the search the views
change, as i have tried to copy the whole folder and there appears to
be no contacts in the new folder however on the bottom left hand corner
there are the same amount of contacts listed as well as the folder size
being the same...
If before i run a search it is in a certain view is it normal for the
folder to change views during the search and not be able to display the
search results?
I have checked in permissions and all the PCs have owner level to the
public folders.
anybody have any ideas on how to solve this?
not sure if this is the right place to post.....
