I recently imported a list of contacts from one computers outlook to anothers. Now when I try to add new entries in the outlook I imported to I get a "The form required to view this message cannot be displayed. Please contact your administrator." error. Does anyone know the problem I am having and how to fix it? Thanks.
 
Not without any information.
Provide the steps you used in this "import."
Provide the relevant Outlook versions and the information store used.
When you transfer data from one installation of Outlook to another,
importing is a poor choice.

I'll get back to you with that information.

What's a good way to transfer the contact lists?
 
Copy the Contacts into a PST file.
Open that PST file in the other installation of Outlook.
 
Are you certain you created a new PST file from scratch and then copied your
Contacts into it?
Most people use Outlook's Export routine to create a PST file, then import
that file. It's the export > import part that can cause trouble.

First off, I would like to thank you for the time you've spent answering my questions.


Second, If I remember correctly that is what I did. Sorry if "import"

wasn't the right term for what I did.
