I have that program on my desktop. I have not used it. I had various
problems after running the scanpst, so was not too anxious to try
another
fix.
I have asked how to start a new file and use the existing settings, but
didn't find out how to do that. I'd like to start new file but will
lose
folders and addresses, rules, etc.

Oh my word. That's crucial information you left out. You have a
completely
different problem, and not likely one you can solve now. Once a PST
file
reaches 2G, there is no way you can "repair" it by simply removing
items.
You must use a special utility to repair that file.

I ran the inbox repair tool on this file about two weeks ago. It had
reached
2 gb and I was able to reduce it by removing folders and only
keeping
what
I
needed. It has been since then that contacts have been spotty. I
will
actually have the name underlined in the to box and then there will
be
no
details, the e-mail addy anymore. That is why I have been copying
my
old
contacts from earlier files but keep having the fantom problem.
Here
they
are and they they are gone.

If you continue to have problems after that, try repairing the PST
file
with
the Inbox Repair Tool.

The correct way to transfer Contacts is to open the Contacts
Folder,
select
the entire contents, then use the Copy to Folder... command to
direct
them
to the correct folder.

Yes, I open the older personal folder that contains my full
contact
list.
I
right click and choose the copy option and then past that in
the
new
personal
folder.
I am running Outlook 2000. I have newer version but do not
like
it.

Could you clarify how you are transferring these Contacts
from
one
file
to
another?

I have tried several times to start over with my contacts
folder
from
a
prior
personal folders.
However, while the contacts folder that I am copying has
all
detail
I
need,
when I copy and paste it into the new personal folder, it
works
for
a
day
perhaps then the detail is missing again.
Yesterday I also found that e-mail information for one
person
was
in
the
contact of another. It seems to be corrupted/corrupting.
How do I start over without recollecting my contact
information?
