Same user as images but different problem
He has many contacts organised into Distribution Lists.
When you double click on a member of a list, it is supposed to open up that person's card. He gets an error message that the card is missing and gives the open of deleting or not or cancel. If you say Not delete, then it becomes a small Roladex type icon and only a mini card opens with email address and name.

The name can be found in his Contacts general list.

Adding a new member to a list works OK and they can be seen normally when double clicked.....

HAve run repairs, even added it to my OL 2003 and the problem persists.

by the scummy one

although the name appears, the rest of the information may not be able to be displayed due to a problem or corruption.

Does this happen on several contacts, or just 1?

Export the contacts, and try re-creating the bad ones.
By any chance -- were these imported from another system? Just curious

by ken

This is a file from another system but I have tried using the original .pst file and an exported file with the same results. There are a mixture of users in the Distribution Lists that work and don't work AND there are Hundreds, which I don't want to have to recreate or re-add to the list.
Have tried the MS scanpst tool but no change
