Hidden Contacts

[Frank J]

I realized recently that some of my contacts are missing. I have tried all
types of views with the same results. I can do a search and find them. I did
delete one of such contacts and reneneted it and now it shows in the list.

The synced list in my iphone is correct - all contacts properly shown

Sorry did not send all info you requested. I thought I was clear. I am using
outlook (2007) and some of the contacts do not show on the contact list in
outlook using any of the viewing formats available. The total number of
contacts shown on the list is 79. However I have my iphone linked with
Outlook and the the list in the phone shows 99 contacts. I have done a search
in outlook for a few of the contacts with success. They contimue to be hidden
in the outlook list until I do a search, delete the contact and re-enter them
as a new contact.

Please be more specific as to what you mean by "data store".

We have no idea what you mean by "contact list." There is no such term used
in conjunction with Outlook. Do you mean your Contacts Folder? If so, which
view? Do you mean your address book view? Do you mean something else?

I too am having a similar problem: In Outlook 2003 there are several Outlook
Address Books with contacts in each book. Many of the address books have lost
contacts - completely gone. I can not see them in either the Folder List or
the Contact Folder views. They were not deleted nor archived. They are just
gone. I have seen other posts with this same problem, but not found any
answers given. Please help. And Russ, please don't slap me around for not
know the precise Outlook terms - you are supposed to help us not make us feel
stupid. thanks

I too am having a similar problem: In Outlook 2003 there are several
Outlook
Address Books with contacts in each book.

Again we don't know what you mean by "address books" - the only "Address
Book" Outlook uses is a special view of the Contacts folder used for
inserting email addresses into a new email...

 

[Russ Valentine]

It's OK if you don't know the proper terms. But if you use your own terms,
at least explain what you mean by them so we can figure out what your
question is.
In your case we would need to know in what view you are seeing "several
Outlook Address Books" and what you mean by that.
The problem that most people face in this regard is in the address book view
of Outlook, which may contain several outdated references to Contacts Folder
that are no longer valid. Is that what your problem is?
If so, you would remove invalid references to Contacts Folders from the
address book view here: Tools > E-mail accounts > View or change existing
directories or address books > Outlook Address Book > Change… >
If your problem is something else, then state more clearly what it is. Keep
in mind that there is no separate address book in Outlook, only an address
book view of your Contacts Folders.

i am confused - it clearly states in the properties of this "address list or
whatever you call it" - there is a tab for Outlook Address Book and the check
box says treat this folder as an OUtlook Address Book - how can you not know
this term? i can't describe it any better than that

 

[Frank J]

I still don't understand what the problem is or why you don't understand what
I am talking about. If you open outlook select contacts, you get a list of
contacts. you can then select the tab "view" and select current view and then
select how the contacts are listed ("Phone List", "By Category", B\"By
Company", etc.). I any of the veiws selected, the hidden contacts are still
hidden.

I can't find any better way to explain it.

Imagine that none of us is sitting next to you watching your screen and
seeing what you're seeing. Then use your imagination to create a post that
describes your problem and the steps that we could use to reproduce it. If
you can't find a way to describe your problem then perhaps newsgroups are
not the best forum for your question and you should call PSS for help.

Some general things you can try until we can understand your issue better:
since there is no such thing as "hidden contacts" in Outlook, it's more
likely that you have contacts in more places than you realize, especially
since you synch with an iPhone. Use Folder List view to get a complete view
of your folder hierarchy and see if Contacts are in more than one place.
Also, make sure you aren't confusing what you see in your autocompletion
cache with Contacts--they're not the same.

[gail99]

i open outlook, then go to my contacts. in contacts, i go file, new, folder,
name it and it appears in the list. I change the properties of the folder so
that it is treated as an Outlook Address Book. I add contacts to it. All is
well for a long time. Now, I browse to that folder, and the contacts within
it are gone. can you help figure out where they went? Using Outlook 2003 on
an Exchange/Windows SErver 2003 platform.

 

[Frank J]

If you read my 1st comments, I point out that by hidden, I mean that you can
go to that when you veiw the contacts, not all are visible. You can, however,
make a search for the contact and it will be found and be able to view the
contact information. if you do a search for another contact that should show
in the list of contacts, it will also show up on the search. Those "hidden
contacts' will not show up with doing a search and then only in the search
results.

I can't understand why others understand what I am saying and you cannot

What is there to understand. Although the contacts are available to view in
Outlook and most are, some cannot be veiwed unless you know which one is not
on the visible list and unless you go put into "search all contact items" and
then it becomes visible.

Maybe it is because you have not personlly seen the problem and can't
believe precisely what I am saying. That I can understand. I would also
would have a problem with it if it had not occured with me and have noted by
google searches that others have had the same problem and and without
resolution.

If you read my 1st comments, I point out that by hidden, I mean that you
can
go to that when you veiw the contacts, not all are visible. You can,
however,
make a search for the contact and it will be found and be able to view the
contact information. if you do a search for another contact that should
show
in the list of contacts, it will also show up on the search. Those "hidden
contacts' will not show up with doing a search and then only in the search
results.

I can't understand why others understand what I am saying and you cannot


Frank J

Some general things you can try until we can understand your issue
better:
since there is no such thing as "hidden contacts" in Outlook, it's more
likely that you have contacts in more places than you realize, especially
since you synch with an iPhone. Use Folder List view to get a complete
view
of your folder hierarchy and see if Contacts are in more than one place.
Also, make sure you aren't confusing what you see in your autocompletion
cache with Contacts--they're not the same.
--
Russ Valentine
I still don't understand what the problem is or why you don't understand
what
I am talking about. If you open outlook select contacts, you get a list
of
contacts. you can then select the tab "view" and select current view
and
then
select how the contacts are listed ("Phone List", "By Category", B\"By
Company", etc.). I any of the veiws selected, the hidden contacts are
still
hidden.

I can't find any better way to explain it.

:

It's OK if you don't know the proper terms. But if you use your own
terms,
at least explain what you mean by them so we can figure out what your
question is.
In your case we would need to know in what view you are seeing
"several
Outlook Address Books" and what you mean by that.
The problem that most people face in this regard is in the address
book
view
of Outlook, which may contain several outdated references to Contacts
Folder
that are no longer valid. Is that what your problem is?
If so, you would remove invalid references to Contacts Folders from
the
address book view here: Tools > E-mail accounts > View or change
existing
directories or address books > Outlook Address Book > Change… >
If your problem is something else, then state more clearly what it is.
Keep
in mind that there is no separate address book in Outlook, only an
address
book view of your Contacts Folders.

Russ Valentine
I too am having a similar problem: In Outlook 2003 there are several
Outlook
Address Books with contacts in each book. Many of the address books
have
lost
contacts - completely gone. I can not see them in either the Folder
List
or
the Contact Folder views. They were not deleted nor archived. They
are
just
gone. I have seen other posts with this same problem, but not found
any
answers given. Please help. And Russ, please don't slap me around
for
not
know the precise Outlook terms - you are supposed to help us not
make
us
feel
stupid. thanks

:

We have no idea what you mean by "contact list." There is no such
term
used
in conjunction with Outlook. Do you mean your Contacts Folder? If
so,
which
view? Do you mean your address book view? Do you mean something
else?
