How do I copy my contacts in one computer and get them to another
HI!
I have Microsoft Outlook 2007, just upgraded from 2000. I want to get all my addressed from my desktop and put them on the laptop - and be able to use them on both computers. Can someone please give me an idea how to do that? Thank you |

How do I copy my contacts in one computer and get them to another
We do every day.
The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored. Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer: http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm http://www.howto-outlook.com/Howto/backupandrestore.htm http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...771141033.aspx Note that some of the information on these pages is outdated and no longer applies to Outlook 2003 or 2007. Specifically: 1. Ignore any advice to copy your PST file to Outlook's default location to connect it to your profile. Doing so only corrupts your profile. Copy it anywhere BUT the default location and open it within your Outlook profile. 2. Ignore any advice that tells you to use export or import to transfer Outlook data. That has never been sound advice, but the process has become too deeply flawed now to be of any use whatsoever. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "BC enquiry" BC wrote in message ... HI!
