XP to Windows 7 Outlook 2003 to 2007 contacts no longer address b.

Used Belkin Easy Transfer/Windows Easy Transfer process to copy files from
Windows XP (2 years old) computer to new Windows 7 computer. Went from
Office Pro 2003 to Office Basic 2007. Everything seems ok -- Outlook has all
of my old emails, my sent emails, etc. Contact list looks good. Calendar is
fine.

But when I try to send an email, there's no address book and I can't seem to
find the proper place to reconnect the contact list as the address book. All
of the previous questions like this are from 2006-2008, going from XP to
Vista and the Microsoft files I've found are also predicated on XP/Vista.
Can anyone point me to something that is specific to Outlook 2003 to 2007 on
Windows 7?

Duh. Even a cursory glance at this newsgroup will tell you that you cannot
and should not use Windows Easy
Transfer with Outlook.
Create a new Outlook profile and use a supported method for transferring
your Outlook data. Those are also posted here daily. Do you need them
reposted too?

Thanks for your oh-so-helpful reply. Now that I know the keywords were *not*
XP or Windows 7 or Outlook 2003 but rather Windows Easy Transfer, Gordon's
blog post
http://gordonb-p.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!E60CE3038809E993!2534.entry?sa=636442432 was what allowed me to fix the problem.

That same information has been posted here countless times. You might want
to switch to a competent search engine for these newsgroups. You're quite
right that if you are using Microsoft's, the information might have alluded
you. I would not have expected your "keywords" to generate any information
relevant to your post. Searching for "Transfer Outlook Data" on Google turns
up 4190 hits in this one group alone.
