How do I export an address book without an error message?

[DaveM]

When I try to export the Outlook address book or contacts, it completes about
500 records out of 1500 and then gives me an error message. This happens
regardless of whether I am exporting to a CSV file or an Excel file. In
addition, some address book records cannot be deleted.(The reappear in my
address book when I try to delete them.) I have tried the inbox repair tool
without any improvement. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Dave

You have provided no information. Provide your version, the precise steps
you are using, what happens, and the precise content of the error messages
you receive. You need to understand that there is no address book in
Outlook. If you try to edit, export or remove information while in the
Address Book view, it should fail. All data is stored in the Contacts
Folder, which is where you should be operating.
