Hi
I am using MyContacts in MyBook.PST
email.open
email.From.select
Add to outlook contacts
adds selected Contact to the Contacts: Inbox_Datafile.PST......WRONG
Account settings:
Address Books:
1.MyContacts: MyBook.PST
2.Contacts: Inbox_Datafile.PST......if deleted, New contact added here !!!
3....
Show Address Book Ctrl+Shift+B:
shows MyContacts - other Address Books................OK
What code do you use exactly? ...NO CODE, i do it manually
Do you automate Outlook from Access ?...in this case NO
I want only add ++new-Contact++ to ++MyBook.PST (outlook file)++ not to default Contacts.
I want only add ++new-Contact++ to ++MyBook.PST (outlook file)++ not to default Contacts.
If you want to change that behaviour - change which PST file is set to be the "default data file"....
++NOT POSSIBLE+++ FOR MyBook.PST
Account settings.DATA FILES.MyEmails.pst....SET AS DEFAULT...OK
=============
Account settings.ADDRESS BOOKS.CHANGE (CANNOT...SET AS DEFAULT)
SELECT FOLDER AND THEN "SHOW THIS FOLDER AS AN EMAIL ADDRESS BOOK"
FOLDERS.MyBook.PST.MyContacts.properties.Outlook Address Book."SHOW THIS FOLDER AS AN EMAIL ADDRESS BOOK"
If you want to change that behaviour - change which PST file is set to be the "default data file"....
++NOT POSSIBLE+++ FOR MyBook.PST
You'll need to explain why setting you "Mybook.PST" as the default data store is not possible or what you mean by "Account settings.ADDRESS BOOKS.CHANGE (CANNOT...SET AS DEFAULT" (AB's are never set as the default).
To repeat - the "default contact folder" is contained in the "default data file" as configured in
Account Settings --> Data Files tab
Settings for the AB in terms of which folder is displayed when opened is controlled by how the AB is configured via the AB options setting (open the AB --> from the AB menu --> Tools --> Options). Whichever contact folder is set to open as the default has absolutely no impact on the workings of a "default contact file". The two are completely separate items.

Mybook.PST OUTLOOK-DATAFILE
MyContacts....My ++default ++AB, LOCATED IN Mybook.PST
FOLDERS.MyBook.PST.MyContacts.properties.Outlook Address Book."SHOW THIS FOLDER AS AN EMAIL ADDRESS BOOK"
===================================================================
To repeat - the "default contact folder" is contained in the "default data file"......+++NOT TRUE ON ME+++
===================================================================
My default contact folder (MyContacts) is contained in the Mybook.PST OUTLOOK-DATAFILE
My default data file is
Account settings.DATA FILES.+++MyEmails.pst.+++...SET AS DEFAULT...OK
===================================================================
To repeat - the "default contact folder" is contained in the "default data file"......+++NOT TRUE ON ME+++

Until you understand the difference between what a "default contact folder" is in an Outlook profile and what appears by default in the AddressBook - going to be pointless to keep repeating the same information over and over again.
Assuming that you have more than one contact folder in your Outlook profile - how exactly are you determining what your "default contact folder" is (and please don't respond by stating it's the one that shows by default in the AddressNook).
I am sory for mis-under-standing....
MY-DEFAULT-CONTATCS folder...what appears by default in the AddressBook
it's the one that shows by default in the AddressBook
I want to ADD New Contacts to MY-DEFAULT-CONTATCS in MyBook.pst outlook-data-file
I have to PST files:
1.MyEmails.PST......for eMails
2.MyBook.PST.......for Contacts
==========================
how exactly are you determining what your "default contact folder"
FOLDERS.MyBook.PST.MyContacts.properties.Outlook Address Book."SHOW THIS FOLDER AS AN EMAIL ADDRESS BOOK"
OUTLOOK.ACCOUNTSETTINGS.ADRESSBOOKS.CHANGE:
1.Contacts: MyEmails.PST......(IF DELETED, AFTER RESTART, AGAIN APPEARS HERE...!!!)
2.Contacts: MyBook.PST.......<----DESIRED-DEFAULT-ADRESSBOOK
how exactly are you determining what your "default contact folder"
FOLDERS.MyBook.PST.MyContacts.properties.Outlook Address Book."SHOW THIS FOLDER AS AN EMAIL ADDRESS BOOK"
You keep asking the same question and going to keep getting the same answer. Nothing more that I can add to this so will leave this to someone else who hopefully can explain it better for you.
One last time - you need to set the MyBook.Pst as the "default data file" under Account Settings--> Data Files" which has absolutely nothing to do with the "AddressBook"
Hi, thanks , i am sorry...
OUTLOOK.ACCOUNTSETTINGS.ADRESSBOOKS.CHANGE:
1.Contacts: MyEmails.PST......default data file ......FOR EMAILS...............OK
2.Contacts: MyBook.PST.......<----DESIRED-DEFAULT-ADRESSBOOK........???
I ++++ CAN NOT SET MyBook.PST as default data file +++++, default data file is MyEmails.PST
I have ++separated++ MyEmails and MyBook, they are two data-files, not one
Contatcs in MyEmails.PST....i do not use it
Contatcs in MyBook.PST....i use this Contacts
I have ++separated++ MyEmails and MyBook, they are two data-files, not one
Contatcs in MyEmails.PST....i do not use it
Contatcs in MyBook.PST....i use this Co
OK
then should be ++TWO++ default data files
===== one for Emails, and one for Contatcs ========
I must allways move new Contacts from
MyEmail.PST.Contacts (DEFAULT DATA FILE) to MyBook.PST."My-DEFAULT"-CONTACTS...

Re-read my previous response. There is no point in repeating the same information.then should be ++TWO++ default data files
OK,only ONE can be designated as the "default data file"
, but it is not USER-FREANDLY......,
