Re: Reinstalling Office 2003

Just to be absolutely clear, the Import/Export Wizard does not appear, but
the error message box does, when you click Import/Export on the File menu?

I assume, from your subject line, that you have done a complete reinstall of
Office 2003. I am out of ideas, but you *might* get an answer from a search
of the MS Knowledge Base rather than Google.

Good luck,
ern.

Hi Ernie,

I guess I need to start from the beginning.

I installed Office 2003 about 2 to 3 months ago, but my system resources
could not quite handle Outlook, so I uninstalled it for the time being,
until
I could get more ram. But before I uninstalled it, I had imported my
contacts from OE6 (.csv format--This was stored on a USB drive) into
Outlook.
After deciding to uninstall Outlook, I decided to delete the .pst (?)
folder
that had been created, and thus deleting my contacts with it.

Finally, after installing more ram this week, I reinstalled Outlook. But
now
I when I click on "File" / "Import and Export"--I get the error message.

I've tried a repair install a couple of times, but it has been of no help.

When does the error message arise during the Import/Export process? Give
more detail, have you exported the Windows Address Book (that is part of
OE6)? What format did you choose?

Correction, I can add contacts to Outlook's address book.It's just
that I
cannot import them from Outlook Express 6. In fact, I cannot use the
Import
and Export wizard at all in Outlook 2003.

It keeps giving me the same old error message -"Internal Translation
System
Error".

I have tried Google, Dog pile, etc, and cannot find anything related
to
this
error message.

I'm paving new ground here I reckon. : -(

So far I cannot even add anything to the contacts list...The

folder

I will have to research your answer, since I'm fairly new to
Outlook.

The first time I installed Outlook, I was able to import my
address
book
from OE6...Why the error now?

To what and from what do you wish to export?

Nor can I add contacts to the address book.

You don't add contacts to the address book. You add them to a
Contacts
folder. The address book contains no information.
