Can't Open or Find Attachments In Contacts!

[jeff-747]

Ever since I upgraded to Outlook 2003, I am unable to open certain contacts
without a dialog box popping up saying "Could not open one or more
attachments". I can click "OK" and it opens but it is very annoying and I
have no idea what attachments it is referring to. I'd like to delete them if
possible.

Any ideas before I start re-building in contacts??....

Thank you.

How did you "upgrade" and from what?
How did you migrate your data to this new installation?
Have you tried repairing your Outlook data file?

Upgraded from Outlook 2000. If I recall, the setup migrated the contacts
automatically. I'm not sure how to repair my Outlook data file??

Upgrade installations of Outlook are not recommended. Two things are
necessary for Outlook to work after an attempted upgrade installation.
1. Repair your Outlook data file using the Inbox Repair Tool (scanpst.exe)

2. Create a new profile from scratch:
