Hi everyone,
I have a strange situation with my Outlook 2002 running on Windows XP (Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 Build 2600, so it says). My Laptop at work had a virus and I had to reinstall the whole system from scratch. I backed up the .pst files, but I didn't save the Address book entries, so I assumed I had lost all my contacts. After reinstalling Outlook I found an empty Adress Book indeed, logically. The strange thing is, when I compose an email and start writing an adress in the fields "to:/cc:/bcc:", the program either completes the address, or gives me the option to pick up one of the many contacts I had fiting in the piece of name I typed. So somehow Outlook seems to "remember" my contacts, though I only copied from the backup .pst files. I don't have the contact files to recover them and put them in an Adress Book, but, if Outlook seems to still remember them all, is there a way to "fish the contacts out of Outlook's memory" and add them to the adress book? One by one is no option, I had several hundreds of contacts :-S
If anyone has any idea of where these "memories" are and more pragmatically, how to get them to Contact-Entries, I would be more than happy and gratefull to hear about it!
