I recently exported all of the needed folders from a profile and upon
importing them back into another profile, everything shows up except the
contacts. I am running outlook 2007 and this is driving me nuts
 
If this is Outlook data, why are you exporting and importing? You already
have Outlook data, right? Just copy the data file and open it in the other
profile. Exporting and importing always loses data (most of the time from
end user error, as you are demonstrating yet again).
 
By "exerything shows up except the contacts........." - you mean what
exactly? You check the contacts folder and it's completely empty?

That aside, Russ's comments about import/export should be heeded - from your
brief description, wholeheartedly agree with him that the approach is not
one that should be used in this case.

Are they in the contacts folder but not available when you click To?

If you have Contacts in the Contacts folder but they are not accessible when
you click on the To button, check these settings:

Make sure the Contact folder is enabled as an email address book. Right
click the Contacts folder, choose Properties then Outlook Address Book. Is
the box to enable as email address book is checked?

If this is grayed out...

Go to Tools | Email Accounts, choose View or change existing directories or
address book. Is the Outlook Address Book present? If it isn't listed, add
it and close and restart Outlook. If it is listed, then remove it and close
then restart Outlook and repeat these steps to add it.

If you are using Outlook 2007 and the the checkbox is grayed, you'll need to
make a new profile as you can't add the Outlook Address Book service due to
a bug.

For me, When I upgraded to Windows 7, the contacts folder went empty. not just the "clicking To". They're nowhere to be found, that I can tell

Click to expand...

And is anything else missing or is it just the Contacts? How did you do the
"upgrade"?
 
did you import or just open the old pst in the profile?
See http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/2007_profile.htm - bottom half has
the instructions for opening an old pst in the profile as the default data
store.
