I have recently upgraded my XP Pro boxes from OfficeXP to
Office 2003(11) and in doing so, noticed that whenever I
want to select all contacts, and Copy or Move them to a
PST folder, all the contacts go into the TO: field of a
New Email...

ANY IDEAS...this is a weird one..
thanks in advance.
 
Could you list the exact steps you are using and tell us exactly what
happens? Include the information store you are using.
 
thanks for responding,
There are a couple of ways that I've tried...
First, I have a secretary that is running XP Pro with
Office 2003. This secretary has permission to an
attorney's contact folder(owner rights). The attorney is
running Office 2000 on Win98. What I've tried is, from
the XP box, created a PST on the users local, pull up the
shared(attorney) contacts in outlook 2003, select one or
all, then Edit-Copy to folder-select the PST folder in
the list, hit OK and a NEW Email Message pops up and the
selected contacts are in the TO: field.

Then I tried, from the Win98 machine - Created a new PST
folder locally, Copy the entire Contacts folder from the
Folder List and pasted in the PST, it appeared fine. Then
I copy/paste the local PST file onto the network. Went to
the XP(secretary) box and tried opening the PST, then I
got a message that some of the items were
marked "Private" and that the PST couldn't be opened.
Note that we are running Exchange 5.5 on Windows2000
server and I've heard of a few compat. issues under this
enviroment, but not this problem.
I also tried making the PST folders on the XP machone in
both "Outlook 97-2000 & Outlook 2003" still get the same
results. I thought that this would be the culprit. But
its not.
Am i doing something wrong here,?
Thanks for listening and your help dude...

I can't see anything you're doing wrong, but you need to head over to an
Exchange group pronto. I've seen no similar issues with local information
stores, but am aware, too, that there are some compatibility issues between
Outlook 2003 and Exchange 5.5, and this may be one of them.
