export custom contact groups and folders
I spent quite a bit of time organizing contacts into various groups and
folders (custom). Now I want to export all groups and folders using the csv format . It appears as if the export tool will only export the default contacts folder? I have an extensive set of contacts in various custom groups and folders. I want to export or create a file so if I need to move from my business computer to a personal computer I can bring them with me. Bob

export custom contact groups and folders
Why would you want to export to another file type? That will lose data. Why
wouldn't you want to retain all your data? Just make a copy of your Outlook data file. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "rfitts" wrote in message ...

export custom contact groups and folders
Russ,
Just make a copy of your Outlook data file. How? -- I am trying to make a copy of all of my contacts. How could I do it? Also, can those copies be pasted/transferred in to Outlook 2007? (Currently, mine is 2003). Thanks "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Why would you want to export to another file type? That will lose data. Why wouldn't you want to retain all your data?

Close Outlook.
Copy your Outlook Data file in Windows Explorer. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "win" wrote in message ... Russ, Just make a copy of your Outlook data file.

export custom contact groups and folders
Russ, The files you speak of are located C:\Documents and
Settings\fittsrob\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook? I see 4 different .pst files and 1 .ost file. What I want to do is ensure myself that I have a file that contains all of my outlook contacts data. How can I ensure myself that I have a file that can be used to either move all outlook contact data to another computer or use it for back up? Bob "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Close Outlook.

export custom contact groups and folders
Russ, I decided what I needed to do is download the PBT (Personal Folders
Backup tool) and back up all outlook data on to my machine since the contact data I wanted to secure was being stored on a mail exchanger. My question now is the PBT tool will back up all contact info even if it is not in the default outlook contacts folder?

export custom contact groups and folders
Russ decided to use PBT personal folders back up tool. Will this back up all
contacts regardless if they are not in the default contact folder?

Don't know. I've never used PBT and never would. It is such a simple matter
to look at which file Outlook is using and simply make a copy of it. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "rfitts" wrote in message news  Russ decided to use PBT personal folders back up tool.
