stdly -- do you have sql server management studio express installed to be able to actually view the database? If you know how to use it could you possibly take a screen shot with it open to show the installed databases and maybe the the tables underneath the database. The procedure would be to open studio management connect to the database with either windows account or (sa, mediaportal) then expand the Database folder in object explorer. At this point I am assuming there should be two databases if you just renamed the old one probably one called MyRolodexContacts and one called MyRolodexContactsOLD or something like that. Then if you expand the MyRolodexContacts folder and expand tables there should be a table called dbo.Contacts. This is the table that the plugin accesses and stores the information. Capture the screen with all this expanded then capture the mediaportal configuration of the plugin so I can see where it it pointing to.

Also if you want you can bring back the old database and try again now that you have a fresh install with the microsoft.office.interop.outlook installed. I really want to get this working for you. I am surprised it is not I keep trying things but I don't have any issues. Also I am very shocked that out of 250 people no one else has anything good or bad to say about the plugin. I am very curious if the outlook or any other contact import has been successful for anyone else.

edterbak -- I have thought about the possibilty of birthday reminders and calendar of somesort I just really wanted to get a base plugin out there and maybe to get input like this to see features people would like to see. I am working on a web-site for my church right now, but I'll try and look into this in my "spare" time and we'll see what I can do. I am sure there will be a version 1.2 or other plugin that utilizes the information in this database. Thanks for the feedback.
