I have Outlook 2003 running on an XP home laptop.
I ran a backup file .pst on the system and installed the file on a desktop PC. I had selected to not create doubles, but now both machines have doubles in the contacts. How does this happen and is there any way to remove them without going through them 1 by 1? This will be the second time if I have to go through them 1 by 1, and I don't want to do it a third time. Over 1300 entries now on 2 machines.

How are you "installing" this file? Normally one would just open a backup
PST file in Outlook. You must be doing something else. Importing, for example, is not recommended and could be the cause of your problem. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "creyor" wrote in message ...

I did import them. How else do you bring in the data if you do not import
them? "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: How are you "installing" this file? Normally one would just open a backup PST file in Outlook. You must be doing something else.

Also on the laptop I exported the address book and it created doubles, how
would I avoid that? "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: How are you "installing" this file? Normally one would just open a backup PST file in Outlook. You must be doing something else.

That doesn't make sense. There is no Address Book in Outlook. All Contact
data is in the PST file. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "creyor" wrote in message ... Also on the laptop I exported the address book and it created doubles, how would I avoid that?

OK I can see how to open the pst file in Outlook, but I do not understand how
to copy contacts from one computer to another. I am trying to share contacts between two computers, my wifes and mine and I do not want to create multiples. With out exporting and importing how do I do that? "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: That doesn't make sense. There is no Address Book in Outlook.

Copy from one to the other and then run a duplicate checker.
