HI,
I've successfully moved the pst file to a new computer, and all the contacts
are in the contacts folder, but all my address book folders are gone. Do I
have to recreate all those folders by hand? I've looked for the answer in
your online helps, but can't find it.
 
Thanks Russ for the response. I have the old contact list in the new address
book. The problem is that I want the old folders that took years to develop.
How can I get those folders?

Brad

You'll have to tell us. Since the address book view contains no data, you
did not (and cannot) create your folders there. You can only create folders
in a pst file which you claim to have transferred correctly. Did you? If you
did, just enable the folders to display in the address book view using the
directions I posted.

Hi Russ,
The address book does contain all my addresses, and I now see what must be
the old folders represented by icons with two faces. Unfortunately all those
folders are empty. They have the right titles, but no addresses inside. I
have followed the instructions in the link you sent me to the best of my
ability. Should the actual addresses be inside all those sub-folders?

Also, is there any way to see the old folder structure in a bar to the left
of the opened address book?

Thanks for your help!

No. Your address book contains no data. It is only a view of the contacts
that exist in your Contacts Folder. If your address book view contains
outdated references to Contact folders that no longer exist, then remove
those references here:
Tools > E-mail accounts > View or change existing directories or address
books > Outlook Address Book > Change.

Your folder hierarchy can only be modified in Folder view of Outlook. You
cannot configure anything within the address book view.

Hi Russ:

I need to know if it's possible to get the distribution lists (With their
addresses!) that are shown in my old outlook 2000 contacts folder, to
transfer to the contacts foder in a new instalation of Outlook 2003? The
lists show up, but they are all empty! I just tried re-exporting the old
contacts folder to a pst file and re-importing it into the new 3003 contacts
folder on the new computer, but that produced no change. THe contact lists
are still there, and still empty.

Thank you for your help!
