I use Microsoft Office XP and I am having problems with my Contacts in Outlook! I recently broke my contacts list into a main one (with my personal addresses) and 5 sub-folders with specific addresses.
I copied the addresses from the main one into each of the appropriate sub-folders. Now I am having a series of problems with the contacts.
Today I tried to create a distribution list from one of the sub-folders and when I try to select members from my contact folders, I see the names and I am able to move them to the right panel by clicking on the Members button however when I click on "OK" only certain addresses get added to the distribution list! The others are ignored!
If, when I have the Select Members dialog box open, I click on a name and the click on the "properties" button it opens the contact details dialog box for that address (which is how it should work)... however it only does this for those certain addresses that get added to the distribution list (see above). For the addresses which don't work I get an error message "The Properties dialog box could not be displayed. An invalid ENTRYID was passed in."
Clearly there seems to be something corrupted in these addresses but I cannot see any differences between the contacts that work and those that don't! I viewed the “All Fields” tab of the Properties dialog box comparing one contact that works and one that doesn't… but I didn’t find anything!
Any thoughts?
